how add go build flags to compile our modules ?

[wisperC4]

Hello,
at this time we are using : go build -ldflags "-X 'main.BuildTime=$(date)'" when we want to compile our prog.
Now we want to use gobusybox to assemble all our little program but we how reproduce the same ,
makebb -go-extra-args seems to be not working as we expected.

Regards,
Nicolas

Hi, you are correct, this was broken. Addressed in #80.

Just a side note: Since programs are rewritten by gobusybox as described in the README, if you have a command called -- say -- printbuildtime which is a package main and has a var BuildTime string global variable, then passing -X 'main.BuildTime=$(date)' will not work in this case. gobusybox will rewrite printbuildtime to be a package, so main.BuildTime won't refer to the correct symbol anymore.

You have to refer to the symbol with the full package path, e.g. if printbuildtime were in github.com/u-root/gobusybox/src/cmd/printbuildtime, here's my makebb invocation after #80:

makebb --go-extra-args="-ldflags" --go-extra-args="-X 'github.com/u-root/gobusybox/src/cmd/printbuildtime.BuildTime=$(date)'" ./cmd/printbuildtime
