The Go programming language
984b4e381d
The installer now: allows a user to select an alternative install directory, it now adds a Go folder to the Programs Menu, and it places two shortcuts on the user's desktop. The Program Menu folder contains shortcuts to the uninstaller and two batch files, go.bat and godoc.bat. The desktop shortcuts also point to go.bat and godoc.bat. go.bat sets the Go environment, including Path, and spawns a Window's shell. godoc.bat starts the godoc server at localhost:6060 then spawns a browser window pointing to the document server. Setting the environment temporarily and spawning a shell, via go.bat, should be safer than messing with the system's environment and it makes the user experience a bit more streamlined. The packager does work in its current state but it still needs some polishing. And yes, the plan is to add a dialogue to allow the user to decline the desktop shortcuts.

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.html in your web browser. After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060 and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html. Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. -- 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.
