Cross compilation guide

1

How do you cross compile Grafana? The normal golang way does not work. I have found some threads asking similar question, but I have not been able to figure out all the flags that need to be set. For example:

go run build.go -goarch=armv7 -cgo-enabled=1 -cc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -cxx=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -pkg-arch=armhf -phjs=./phantomjs build pkg-deb

What is the significance of cgo, cxx, and cc? Is there a comprehensive guide?

Last time I checked you could not cross-compile when you used cgo (used for sqlite3)

That may be true, I wouldnt know. My problem is I need to make a Linux build on my Mac. Any idea how to approach that?

4

Not possible right now, could be made possible if we had build flags to exclude building sqlite3

5

small possibility that it can work with this lib, https://github.com/karalabe/xgo not sure

I see. Not the answer I was hoping for but thanks anyway!
