xgo wrapper?

[CaptainSkywave]

Great work @karalabe !
Have just downloaded and installed xgo-latest on an arm SDB similar to RPi with headless Linux 18.04.3 LTS.
When doing this go get github.com/karalabe/xgo I'm informed that go not found and can be installed with sudo apt install golang-go or gccgo-go
Do I need to install those also?
I suspect I should be issuing go get github.com/karalabe/xgo from inside your xgo-latest docker container? But how to?

go get install the wrapper on host to make the toolchain easier to use. So you need Golang installed on host if you want to go get the wrapper on host.

No. Inside container, xgo executable is already available so you don't have to run go get. It seems that xgo-in-xgo is viable but haven't tested it myself so I can't say for that. Better stick to xgo-on-host approach for now.

@karalabe Is it possible for you to provide the xgo wrapper as a prebuilt-binary and to publish it as a release on this GitHub project's Releases page?

@W1M0R You can use this one from my fork if you want.
