What's gobuilder?

Gobuilder is a tool for building Go binaries. It is similar to the Go tool, but it supports building multiple binaries at once and supports custom build configurations without creating any script.

Features

• Builds binaries for any platform from go source code.
• Cross-compilation for CGO using xgo. (optional)
• Packs binaries with UPX. (optional)
• Obfuscate binaries with garble for windows. (optional)
• Sign windows exe with osslsigncode. (optional)
• Zip binaries automatically.
• Builds binaries at anywhere in a go project.
• Remembers the build operations forever.
• No script is needed.
• Keep source code tidy. A dir named build is created, all the related files are restored in build.

Note: You can install upx and go compiler using VMR. osslsigncode needs manuall compilation. garble and xgo can be installed using go install xxx. xgo docker image is available at ghcr.io/crazy-max/xgo or crazymax/xgo.

How to use?

• Install

go install github.com/gvcgo/gobuilder/cmd/gber@v0.1.5

• Usage

gber build <your-go-build-flags-and-args>

Note: If you need to inject variables when building go source code, "$" should be replaced with "#".

# original
gber build -ldflags "-X main.GitTag=$(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags) -X main.GitHash=$(git show -s --format=%H)  -s -w" ./cmd/vmr/

# replaced
gber build -ldflags "-X main.GitTag=#(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags) -X main.GitHash=#(git show -s --format=%H)  -s -w" ./cmd/vmr
