build: decide on policy for supporting Go on Microsoft Linux

[aeneasr]

1. What version of Go are you using (go version)?

Go1.4 is installed from binaries: go version go1.4 linux/amd64

1. What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

I am trying out the new bash on ubuntu on windows 10 (amd64) feature: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about

$ go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/mnt/d/workspace/go"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/home/foobar/.gvm/gos/go1.4"
GOTOOLDIR="/home/foobar/.gvm/gos/go1.4/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

1. What did you do?
   If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
   A complete runnable program is good.
   A link on play.golang.org is best.

I tried installing go 1.6 from source using gvm:

# install go1.4 from binaries
gvm install go1.4 -B
gvm use go1.4
export GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$GOROOT

# install go1.6 from source
gvm install go1.6
Installing go1.6...
 * Compiling...
ERROR: Failed to compile. Check the logs at /home/foobar/.gvm/logs/go-go1.6-compile.log
ERROR: Failed to use installed version

1. What did you expect to see?

I expected Go to be compiled

1. What did you see instead?

$ cat  /home/foobar/.gvm/logs/go-go1.6-compile.log
##### Building Go bootstrap tool.

The same thing happens when running go run ... on any go code:

The windows 10 emulation is not perfect. I recommend you use a newer
version of go as your bootstrap compile.

Thank you, that got me a step further. I am now using go1.6 from binaries to compile go1.7rc4, which still fails, unfortunately:

Real talk: the Windows 10 Linux thing isn't complete, some stuff isn't working and that isn't Go's fault. I've heard that go 1.6.3 works well.

That explanation works for me ;)

[bradfitz]

You can file bugs against Microsoft Linux at https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues

[minux]

Please try Go 1.7.

[aeneasr]

Please try Go 1.7.

Compiling regular Go code with Go 1.6 works fine. Compiling Go 1.7 using Go 1.6 doesn't work. Compiling Go 1.7rc2 using Go 1.7rc1 (installed from binaries) doesn't work either.

[aeneasr]

Compiling Go 1.7rc2 using Go 1.7rc1 results in:

go build _/home/foobar/.gvm/gos/go1.7rc2/src/cmd/dist: /home/foobar/.gvm/gos/go1.7rc1/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/compile: waitid: function not implemented

which looks to me like there's some APIs missing?

[minux]

Please wait for the next 1.7rc (1.7rc6) for the waitid fix.
