ARM Build Output

Hi

I'm including the update feature in a golang app targeted for ARM. I'm cross compiling from the latest stable Ubuntu.

When I run:
go-selfupdate {appname} {version} -platform="linux-arm"

The output .json file in public is "linux-amd64.json" should this not be "linux-arm.json"?

Am I setting an incorrect flag?

Just to suppliment my question here is my build env:

$ go env

GOARCH="arm"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="5"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/tmp/golang"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/lib/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
TERM="dumb"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -marm"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="0"

As you can see both GOARCH and GOOS are set properly.

Hmm, that is odd. What happens if you omit the -platform flag? It should use GOARCH and GOOS if they are both set.

gibsonsyd commented

It does the same.

I ended up hard coding linux-arm instead of reading it from $GOARCH and
$GOOS. Recompiled and tested, it works perfectly.

Thanks
