All possible GOOS value?

Question

If I get it right, GOOS is determined when compile the source code.

To better support multiple OS, I\'m interested in what GOOS could be.

Answer 1

You can see the list of supported platform by running:

go tool dist list

and this will print(depending on the Go version):

android/386
android/amd64
android/arm
android/arm64
darwin/386
darwin/amd64
darwin/arm
darwin/arm64
dragonfly/amd64
freebsd/386
freebsd/amd64
freebsd/arm
linux/386
linux/amd64
linux/arm
linux/arm64
linux/mips
linux/mips64
linux/mips64le
linux/mipsle
linux/ppc64
linux/ppc64le
linux/s390x
nacl/386
nacl/amd64p32
nacl/arm
netbsd/386
netbsd/amd64
netbsd/arm
openbsd/386
openbsd/amd64
openbsd/arm
plan9/386
plan9/amd64
plan9/arm
solaris/amd64
windows/386
windows/amd64

And the official documentation for the tool:

https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/go/src/cmd/dist

To cross compile use:

GOOS=darwin GOARCH=386 go build main.go
