Machine: Windows 10 64-bit.

Go version: go version go1.5.1 windows/amd64

GCC version:

I hit this issue only when an application is using both the SQLLite driver from mattn (https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3) and RSRC from akavel (https://github.com/akavel/rsrc). Using just one or just the other (eg by commenting out the import or deleting rsrc.syso), the problem is not seen.

RSRC is used to compile a manifest file (and in the real application, docker https://github.com/docker/docker an application icon as well) as a resource into the final binary. So I run rsrc –manifest sql1.5.1.exe.manifest –o rsrc.syso once, before running go build [optionally go build –tags “libsqlite3” for dynamic linking of SQL rather than static] on that repro.

Using dumpbin from Microsoft Visual Studio to dump the PE/COFF headers of rsrc.syso, it appears that these are valid:

E:\docker\test\sql1.5.1>dumpbin /all rsrc.syso

Summary

3AE .rsrc

I can’t dumpbin the object file generated by go build for the rest of the application (under %temp%\go-link-nnnnnnnnn\) as the go compiler cleans it up too quickly to be able to examine. But I suspect that the PE header being written by the go compiler for that object file is subtly different in 1.5.1 vs 1.4.3, and hence now incompatible with the rsrc.syso file containing the application manifest (and icon in the real-world app) files.

I emphasise that if I use both SQL and the rsrc.syso binary in the repro app, and compile using go 1.4.3, it works fine. It also works fine if cross-compiling from Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) to Windows 64-bit using either go 1.5.1 or 1.4.3 for cross-compile. So the issue appears unique to Windows 64 bit native compile using go 1.5.1.

Does using -linkmode=internal improve the situation ?

Yes! That works!!! Thanks so much :)

Just wondering where can we find those options?

I'm in particular trying to find out how to link libraries in Windows (dynamic or static; whatever it works).

Currently I'm struggling with this issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/8756

Any help is much appreciated.
