Any plans for merging this back to upstream openwrt repo? So the default build from openwrt can run Go programs.

Greetings.

I wonder:

1. Is the project still alive?
2. Did openwrt successfully ported go (I found it in their repos)?
3. Any plans on further developments / implementations?

Thanks.

Hi, I fulli noob in gcc/MIPS/edlibs etc . But I need to build an executable go binary for openwrt. Openwrt installed in virtual box. So, I start from this issue #2
On my macosx host I did :

git clone https://github.com/GeertJohan/openwrt-go
git checkout add-gccgo-and-libgo
make menuconfig

and after I got

hello, I want to build an golang program runs on openwrt(MIPS) router, I searched google, found your great job, I'm new to openwrt, so the question maybe dumb:

1. is it possible build an golang program runs on openwrt(MIPS) router?
2. if so, is it possible cross compile the binary on an os x system? and how do I start? do I need to cross compile gccgo for MIPS?
   any sugguestion would be great, thanks.

@GeertJohan , what is the status of this project?
Should it work, or not?
Or, maybe, https://github.com/brimstone/openwrt-go/tree/add-gccgo-and-libgo can be used?
Was that projects abandoned after success, or before?

mips-gccgo -v -o test.go test

hello,
I use gccgo hello.go can be successfully compiled, using go build -x -compiler=gccgo hello.go failed

rexchou@rexchou-virtual-machine:~/work$ go build -x -compiler=gccgo hello.go

go build command-line-arguments: : fork/exec : no such file or directory

I'm trying to compile based on the info in the other issue, but I keep running into a make failure due to this mismatch. Here's the output from the failure:

MD5 sum of the downloaded file does not match (file: 8b0d1041266f89b18e47f26d943f8aa5, requested: a8988c7ef11133bb3b6ccf0af67ce010) - deleting download.

It's trying to download it from http://colocrossing.dl.sourceforge.net/project/scons/scons/2.3.5/scons-2.3.5.tar.gz and the other mirrors it tries after 404.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Just found this repo:

https://github.com/akent/openwrt-15.05.git

I managed to compile the gccgo and go xcompilers for openwrt mips (ar7xxx), unlike with this repo.

Any intention to merge those? It offers GCC-5.3 aith GO1.4.

im new in openwrt and golang , I compiled openwrt-go and flash to my router successfully.
and now ,i need to use golang to update settings like qos and firewall.. on my router .
is there any solution or tip for me
thanks ,

Does anyone know the advantage of re-compile openwrt firmware with this repo? Currently I could run cross compiled go program on original openwrt mips32 firmware, but the performance is very poor.

I tried an UDP tunnel program which written in golang, but when it runs on my mips32 router after cross compiled, the transfer rate is only 2-3Mbps.

So I'm looking for some optimized metheds to run golang on my mips32 router now. Thanks!

My cross compile bin attahed, source code here: https://github.com/xtaci/kcptun

Hi sir,

I follow your tips to compile the gccgo successully, but something wrong happen after i use gccgo to compile hello world.

helloworld.go:(text+0x195): undefined reference to __morestack
Can you give me some hints to solve the problem?

GO1.6 finally support MIPS processors, but only supports the MIPS64. MIPS processors are not supported. Ask whether there is support GO1.6 plan? Or to support GO1.4?

You can not provide, modify script shows?
