Building golang libraries

[desaia...@gmail.com]

Want to create libraries ( static or dynamic ) so that that I don't want to compile every time when I build my executable

"github.com/everjit/Ion" <--- should not refer to code rather it should refer to build library like .so or .dll ( in windows ) and will provide that to go build command line.

package main

import (

"github.com/everjit/Ion"

"strings"

}

func main(){

    Ion.Invoke()

}

Please help

Thanks

To create static libraries, run `go install`. For example, `go
install github.com/everjit/lon`.

You asked about creating either a static or dynamic library, and I
explained how to create a static library.

You are correct that building a dynamic library is not supported on
Darwin at present. It's only supported on GNU/Linux. It would be
nice if someone looked into that on Darwin. I don't know how hard it
would be.

Basically want to distribute my library without code and then client will refer it as a library in his application

See https://golang.org/cmd/go and https://golang.org/s/execmodes . If
those don't help, please ask a more specific question.
