find a way to automate cross compilation about bettercap HOT 10 CLOSED

Following worked for mips64

1. You need docker and the xgo fork from ykyuen
2. go get github.com/ykyuen/xgo
3. create the folder xgo-dist and move the xgo binary there
4. run:
   ./xgo -ldflags='-linkmode external -extldflags "-static -s -w"' --deps=http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-1.8.1.tar.gz --depsargs=--with-pcap=linux --targets=linux/mips64 github.com/google/gopacket

from bettercap.

if this works, you have no idea how simpler you just made my life, will test asap

Just compiled bettercap-ng for mips64. This will give you a 15mb static binary

Just make sure you create the xgo-dist folder and put the xgo binary in there otherwise you will get
cp: omitting directory '/build/xgo-dist'

For windows I can recommend you to do this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38047858/compile-gopacket-on-windows-64bit
Worked for me very well.

from bettercap.

yes i know, i'm working on it on the windows branch

from bettercap.

@negbie I managed to make it work for linux ( arm, arm64, mips and mips64 ), but not for android or osx or windows, any clue? (check recent Makefile additions about cross compilation rules)

from bettercap.

Cross compile libpcap stuff for windows is a pain. I gave up and now I use a vm with windows to do it. I have no clue about osx related stuff but if you can compile tcpdump on it I would dig a bit deeper. Never tried it for android either but since you can compile it for arm it should be possible.

see the build_*.sh files.
