PHOTONAI Explorer - build instructions

Because of https://github.com/getlantern/systray it seems to not be compatible with cross-compiling. See this repo for prerequisites.

Building requirements

go get -u github.com/gobuffalo/packr/packr

Windows only

go get github.com/akavel/rsrc

Linux only

sudo apt-get install gcc libgtk-3-dev libappindicator3-dev On Linux Mint, libxapp-dev is also required.

Building

Linux

1. put Website in dist/ directory
2. packr
3. go build -o photonai_explorer .

Windows (also crosscompilation)

1. put Website in dist/ directory
2. packr
3. rsrc -manifest photonai_explorer.manifest
4. go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui" -o photonai_explorer.exe .
   • for cross-compilation: env GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui" -o photonai_explorer.exe .
   • Be advised when cross-compiling: the create rsrc.syso can interfer with the building process when creating a linux binary
