The Go programming language
5eb585f211
This is a quick documentation change/clarification, as this confused me before: in my own cgo-based projects, I currently have identical #cgo directives in each relevant source file, and I notice with go build -x that cgo is combining the directives, leading to pkg-config invocations with the same package name (gtk+-3.0, in my case) repeated several times, or on Mac OS X, LDFLAGS listing -framework Foundation -framework AppKit multiple times. Since I am about to add a CFLAGS as well, I checked the source to cmd/cgo and go/build (where the work is actually done) to see if that still holds true there. Hopefully other people who have made the same mistake I have (I don't know if anyone has) can remove the excess declarations now; this should make things slightly easier to manage as well.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
