Build instructions

[metov]

Can you please add instructions for building from source? (including for people unfamiliar with Go) I want to try the workaround in #54 (comment) but not sure how to build.

Hopefully this will help - I've had the same problem, not too familiar with Go (yet), but figured out how to get it to work.

• Clone the pr repo to somewhere on your machine: git clone git@github.com:ibisnetworks/assume-role.git
• Using this article as a guide:
  • cd to the cloned directory
  • Make sure you have go 1.16+ installed, then run these commands:
  • GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -o assume-role main.go
  • You can now test the binary using ./assume-role (you should see some output instead of the segment fault that appeared before)
  • I then copied this binary to the local bin using sudo cp assume-role /usr/local/bin. You might not want to do it this way - you could add the new location to your path, I guess, but this worked for me.
  • You can now test in your terminal with assume-role. You should see the same output you saw a couple of steps above
• The assume-role command should now be available to use as it was previously (for some reason, in the GOOS step, you can actually use amd64 OR arm64 - both seem to work. Or you can create a universal package as in the linked article - that works also).

Thanks to madsenibis for the work in the pr.

I'm getting errors running this:

I'm not a go dev, and I'm not sure how to proceed here.

@brunns which version of go did you install? I think we've seen something similar and was possibly related to v1.19.x of go. If you are on 1.19.x, try using 1.18.8 and see if that helps.

[brunns]

Ah, yes, I'm on 1.19.3.
