I have found an interesting program in the language of Go. This is the first time I work with this language and I dont know much of it.
Basically it is a network bandwidth speedtest.
The program works verry well, I just would like to modify its output a little. So I have to edit the source and rebuild the project to get the update .exe file.
Building speedtest
I did step 1. but I don't know what to do with step 2. ? What is it ? What is "~" means and what is "code>" ?
Also is "./" means running a shell script file? I work in Windows. Can somebody please help me to compile this Go program?
E D I T:
The src contains 3 packages:
How should I compile?
If I try:
go install speedtest
I got
can't load package: package speedtest: cannot find package "speedtest" in any of:
C:\go\src\speedtest (from $GOROOT)
C:\gonetwork\src\speedtest (from $GOPATH)
Your message line:
C:\gonetwork\src\speedtest (from $GOPATH)
suggests that your GOPATH is set to c:\Gonetwork.
Do it like this then, open a command prompt.
c:
cd \GoNetwork\src
go get github.com/zpeters/speedtest
When it completes:
c:\GoNetwork\bin\speedtest.exe
As far as you have been able to execute go get github.com/zpeters/speedtest with no error, you already have your code in your $GOPATH and the binary in $GOBIN, the only thing you need to modify it is go to its location, in your case, according to your output it should be something like:
cd C:\gonetwork\src\speedtest\github.com\zpeters\speedtest
Once you are there, and modified the code to your needs, you only need to run go install github.com/zpeters/speedtest
