Dependencies

To test and build the gladius binaries you need go, go-dep and the make on your machine.

• Install go
• Install go-dep
• Mac Users: Install xcode for make xcode-select --install
• Windows Users: Install Linux Subsystem

Install dependencies

We use go-dep to manage the go dependencies. To install the dependencies you need to execute the dependencies target.

# install depdencies for the project with go-dep
make dependencies

This will also configure the Ethereum bindings to work with go-dep.

Build

To build all binaries for your current os and architecture simply execute make. After the build process you will find all binaries in ./build/.

Build specific binary

The Makefile can build single binaries too.

# build only the cli
make cli

# build the network daemon
make networkd

# build the control daemon
make controld

Build for a different platform

Attention: There will be issues cross compiling the controld for other systems due to the go-ethereum CGO bindings, you can try using xgo to work around the issues though To build for a different platform specify toe GOOS and GOARCH variable.

# build for windows 64bit
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 make

# build for linux 32bit
GOOS=linux GOARCH=386 make
