|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/">go tool</a> will now use the path from which it
|
||||
was invoked to attempt to locate the root of the Go install tree.
|
||||
This means that if the entire Go installation is moved to a new
|
||||
location, the go tool should continue to work as usual.
|
||||
This may be overriden by setting <code>GOROOT</code> in the environment,
|
||||
which should only be done in unusual circumstances.
|
||||
Note that this does not affect the result of
|
||||
the <a href="/pkg/runtime/#GOROOT">runtime.GOROOT</a> function, which
|
||||
will continue to report the original installation location;
|
||||
this may be fixed in later releases.
