Description Otavio Salvador 2017-10-02 18:38:06 UTC 
The Go toolchain can be tested using following steps:

git clone https://github.com/golang/dep go/src/github.com/golang/dep
. /opt/oel/17.1-snapshot/environment-setup-i586-oel-linux
export GOPATH=$PWD/go
cd go/src/github.com/golang/dep
i586-oel-linux-go build github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
Comment 1 Joshua Lock 2017-10-02 20:33:15 UTC 
Any hints on how to include a go toolchain in your generated SDK?

Is the following conf snippet sufficient?

TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append = " packagegroup-go-cross-canadian-${MACHINE}"
Comment 2 Otavio Salvador 2017-10-02 20:52:26 UTC 
I added a meta-go-toolchain recipe which has it all.
Comment 3 Joshua Lock 2017-10-04 11:20:09 UTC 
As a learning exercise I implemented a selftest for meta-go-toolchain and an SDK test for an SDK built with Go. I'm not sure both are useful, certainly as the default SDK's don't include Go, so will likely only submit a patch for the former.
