Using Experimental Go 1.3 Plan9 Support

Using Go 1.3 with Plan9

Installing from source is fairly simple. You should be able to follow the instructions here. Fair warning, I am using 9front so your experience may differ. (mercurial is preinstalled)

My Steps

Create $home/go
Clone the repo into $home/go (I dropped the -u and release)

$ hg clone https://code.google.com/p/go

Run the all.rc script

./all.rc

Go should build and run its tests, in my case multiple tests failed. I'm looking into why this may have happened.

Add go to path

This may not be the ideal solution, however it works.

In lib/profile add this line just below the font variable.

path=(. /bin $home/go/bin)
