To speed-up the process, you can install all the windows-amd64 standard packages on your system with + +``` +GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go install +``` + +Note also that `cgo` is disabled when cross-compiling, so any file that mentions `import "C"` will be silently ignored (See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/24068). In order to use cgo, or any of the build modes `c-archive`, `c-shared`, `shared`, `plugin`, you need to have a C cross-compiler. + + +## Older Go version (<1.5) + +I use linux/386, but, I suspect, this procedure will apply to other host platforms as well. + +Preparation (if needed): +```sh +sudo apt-get install gcc +export go env GOROOT +``` + +First step is to build host version of go: + +```sh +cd $GOROOT/src +sudo -E GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 PATH=$PATH ./make.bash +``` + +Next you need to build the rest of go compilers and linkers.

You can probably see from my script that I exclude building of any cgo related parts — these will not work for me, since I do not have correspondent gcc cross-compiling tools installed. So I just skip those. + +Now we're ready to build our Windows executable: + +```go +$ cat hello.go +package main + +import "fmt" + +func main() { + fmt.Printf("Hello\n") +} +$ GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 go build -o hello.exe hello.go +``` + +We just need to find a Windows computer to run our `hello.exe`. \ No newline at end of file
