Can’t wait to receive my BeagleBone. It’s sad all those cool new dev boards are so limited in their availability (BeagleBone, PandaBoard, …)

Installing Google Go on Ubuntu 9.10 x86

This is for x86 processors. You need to change the 386 to amd64 if that’s your chip architecture. First create a bin directory in your home directory if you don’t have one already:

mkdir $HOME/bin

Then edit your .bashrc file and add:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export GOOS=linux
export GOARCH=386
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Then reread your bashrc file:

source .bashrc

You’ll need some packages installed to build it:

sudo apt-get install bison gcc libc6-dev mercurial

Now check out the code and build it:

Anyway, we’re working making Wamily THE place your groups meetup to discuss, share and keep track of what’s going on.

Stay tuned…
