Here’s what I was able to get to build a windows binary. Note the following, however:
- I’ve never used Go before, and I’m sure I made many silly/rookie mistakes
- I don’t have the GIT binary installed on my Windows PC
- I have very little GIT experience
- the rclone.exe file that was created was 25MB vs the download exe of 14MB file
If you’re still reading this…
-
download/install the Go compiler from:
https://golang.org/doc/install?download=go1.9.2.windows-amd64.msi -
create a GoLang directory/folder and the subdirs/folders bin, pkg, and src in the GoLang dir/folder:
+ golang
| + bin
| + pkg
| + src -
download the rclone source from
https://github.com/ncw/rclone/archive/v1.38.zip -
unpack this zip into the src subdir/subfolder
-
(Note - the following is probably my biggest assumption/error.)
Because I think I have all of the 1.38 source, and do not have a git binary, create the new folder:
GoLang\src\rclone-1.38\vendor\github.com\ncw\rclone -
move the 25 dirs/folders from rclone-1.38 to this new "
vendor\github.com\ncw\rclone"subdir

set the GOPATH environment variable to the GoLang directory, such as:
SET GOPATH="C:\Pg1\Temp\GoLang" -
switch to the rclone directory:
cd /d c:\pg1\temp\GoLang\src\rclone1-38 -
