This small library allows you to build Git2go linking it statically with it's dependancies. This is well-suited for people who want use Git2go on their project and have one binary that doesn't require any dynamic libraries.
##Dependancies Here is the list of dependancies that Git2go requires to make static linking possible.
- Libgit2 https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git
- OpenSSL https://github.com/sithembiso/openssl.git
- Libssh2 https://github.com/sithembiso/libssh2.git
- Http-parser https://github.com/sithembiso/http-parser.git
You can install git2go-build just like any other go package:
go get github.com/sithembiso/git2go-build
Note that git2go-build compiles Git2go by loading the dependancies as submodules. To make sure that these libraries are present, run the following command inside the package you just installed (It should be in your $GOPATH/src):
git submodule update --init
After git is done fetching the dependancies, you should have the directories http-parser, openssl and libssh2 (libgit2 will be loaded below).
The last preparation step is to ensure that Git2go is install downloaded. To do that, simply run:
go get github.com/libgit2/git2go
This will add Git2go to your $GOPATH.
To build Git2go statically, you need to checkout the correct branch (next). Please see the Git2go's README file for datails (if you have to). Do the checkout (inside the git2go package in your $GOPATH/src):
git checkout next
From the steps above, we are still missing libgit2 as a dependancy. To load it, run:
git submodule update --init
You should now have libgit2 inside the directory vendor/libgit2.
We are now ready to build Git2go statically.
To build and install Git2go, switch to the git2go-build directory and run the following command:
make install
You can now run write you app using git2go as a library.
Use as you please. Just don't violate the licences on the libraries being referenced above.
