Update Compilation Wiki #722

XSAM · 2019-12-26T09:37:31Z

The go build command in the Compilation Wiki will throw complaints.

#Compile from source
cd $HOME/gocode/src/github.com/buger/gor
go build LDFLAGS = -ldflags "-extldflags "-static""

$ go build LDFLAGS = -ldflags "-extldflags \"-static\""
can't load package: package LDFLAGS: malformed module path "LDFLAGS": missing dot in first path element
can't load package: package =: malformed module path "=": invalid char '='
can't load package: package -ldflags: malformed module path "-ldflags": leading dash
can't load package: package -extldflags "-static": malformed module path "-extldflags \"-static\"": leading dash

change the command to this will work fine:

go build -ldflags "-extldflags \"-static\""

The instructions are old (2016!!) and need updating.

I've been able to compile and use goreplay with dynamic linking rather than static. I use Fedora Linux 31, and these steps worked for me:

$ dnf install golang libpcap libpcap-devel
$ go get github.com/buger/goreplay

That's it! Executable binary is available here: ~/go/bin/goreplay . I can use that executable on any machine that has the libpcap library installed - no static linking required.
