BUILD.md

Requirements

Follow installation instructions for Go found at https://golang.org/doc/install

At least Go version 1.16 is required to build SNI due to use of new standard library functionality introduced in 1.16.

Windows

Set up $GOPATH environment variable to point to $HOME/go.

mkdir C:\go
mkdir C:\go\bin
export GOPATH=C:\go

Build steps:

git clone https://github.com/alttpo/sni.git

cd sni

go install ./cmd/sni

MacOS

Set up $GOPATH environment variable to point to $HOME/go.

mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin
export GOPATH=$HOME/go

Build steps:

git clone https://github.com/alttpo/sni.git

cd sni

go install ./cmd/sni

Linux

Set up $GOPATH environment variable to point to $HOME/go.

mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin
export GOPATH=$HOME/go

Install required libraries:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y gcc libgtk-3-dev libappindicator3-dev
# or
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y gcc libgtk-3-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev

Build steps:

git clone https://github.com/alttpo/sni.git

cd sni

go install -tags=legacy_appindicator ./cmd/sni # to use libappindicator3
# or
go install ./cmd/sni # to use libayatana-appindicator3

Results

You should now have a single-file executable sni in $GOPATH/bin.

You can now copy this sni binary to your /usr/local/bin folder or you can export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin.
