Howto bootstrap golang/goxc from source/git on nixos
Raw
README.md

first you need a previous version of the compiler

$ nix-env -i go

exporting this allows go's build system to find our compiler

$ GOBIN=$(dirname $(readlink -f $(which go)))
$ GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$GOBIN/../share/go

then you can continue to build go as usual

$ git clone https://github.com/golang/go.git
$ cd go/src
$ ./make.bash

to use it set the following

$ export GOROOT=$(readlink go)
$ export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
