[9fans] Installing Go in Plan 9 on the Raspberry Pi.

[9fans] Installing Go in Plan 9 on the Raspberry Pi.

[Mats Olsson]

Hi!

I'm running the Plan 9 from Bell Labs on a Raspberry Pi. It's the 9pi
ported to Raspberry Pi by Richard Miller. I've managed to install Go
on a Linux box but I would rather use Plan 9 OS since it's my
preference among operative systems. The problem is that it means that
I will have to compile Go from source code since there are no binaries
for ARM yet. I'm a little apprehensive to do that and therefore I
would like to have some advice on how to compile Go in Plan 9 and
setting the environment variable so the system is aware of the Go
laguage. Any help would be very appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mats

Go doesn't support Plan 9 on ARM yet.

Anthony Martin is working on the plan9/arm port,
and it might be available for the 1.5 release in July.

OK, thanks for your input. Looking forward to it. I've tried to import
the sources of Go and have failed. First I tried with "wget" a command
that doesn't exist in Plan 9. Looking in bin I found "webfsget" tried
it and the screen was filled with "runes". Deleted it and still I
can't get the syntax right to get the Go sources to my home directory.
If someone can give me a hint about how to get it right I would
greatly appreciate that. Then I can try to figure out how to compile
and set the environment right. Thanks again David!

Kind greetings,
Mats

The equivalent of wget is hget(1).

For example:

% hget -o /tmp/go.tar.gz
http://github.com/golang/go/archive/release-branch.go1.4.tar.gz

The setup of the Go environment on Plan 9 is the same as on Linux.

Thanks David!

Have to think a little about how to make this work. I have the sources
uncompressed on an SD card connected to the Raspberry Pi and it comes
up as /dev/sdU0.0 I think. But I don't know how to copy the sources
from there to my home directory. If you have any idea I'm all ears.
Otherwise I might try to use hget. Thanks again!

mount the usb partition using the command "usb:" Note, the : is part of the command's name.

it prints the path to the mounted directory.

merry Christmas one and all.

In case it wasn't entirely clear, go for arm does not currently work
on Plan 9.

Thanks for your input!

I went for the third option. Copying the uncompressed source go dir to
the fat partition on the SD card and then copying it from there to my
home directory in which I planned to compile it. Is it sure that go
can't be compiled and work on Plan 9 on a Raspberry Pi?

Mats

yes, it is sure that it will not work.

Hi!

Since compiling GO in Plan 9 on a Raspberry Pi won't work I've removed
the source code of it from my home directory. It's a pity though since
it took me so long to figure out a way to put it there in the first
place. Thanks for all your assistance!
