package main

import "github.com/senzing-garage/sz-sdk-go-core/szconfig"

func main() {
	_ = &szconfig.Szconfig{}
}

Successful

$ export GOOS=linux
$ export GOARCH=amd64
$ go build main.go

Failure

$ export GOOS=linux
$ export GOARCH=arm64
$ go build main.go

# command-line-arguments
./main.go:6:16: undefined: szconfig.Szconfig

What did you see happen?

On Linux and an arm64 Mac, the cross-compiling to GOARCH=arm64 fails. Whereas the compiling to GOARCH=amd64 succeeds.

What did you expect to see?

Success for both GOARCH=arm64 and GOARCH=amd64

the package has C dependencies, CGo is disabled by default when cross compiling.
