Suppose I'm a primarily Linux user, but I'm developing an application in Go that I want to be cross platform. I've searched around, but I can't seem to find information to absolve the following:
- If I
go install
a binary on my amd64 Ubuntu system, will it also work on anyone else's 64-bit Ubuntu/Debian system? - How can I use
go install
to build an x86_64 binary that will also run out-of-the-box on 32-bit Debianlikes? - If I must use Windows to make a binary which will run on Windows, how can I also ensure that even if my Windows system is 64-bit the executable will be built for x86_64?
My questions in effect boil down to, "how static/portable is go's linker/compiler?"
