I Can not use Cross Compiler

Question

I want to compile my Go code in windows 10 for Linux (Ubuntu).

I use the commands:

SET GOOS=linux
SET GOARCH=amd64
go build .\main.go

but the compiler creates an .exe file.

How to cross-compile this code for linux?

What does Linux say the file is? Are you sending the correct file? I don’t think the compiler adds a `.exe` extension when cross compiling. — JimB, Jun 01 '19 at 13:01

If you use PowerShell then you should use $Env:GOOS = "linux"; $Env:GOARCH = "amd64"; go build .\main.go

Try this like a one line command in the terminal: GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build .\main.go

I did it but made a mistake,GOOS=linux : The term 'GOOS=linux' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build .\main.go + ~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (GOOS=linux:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException – mohammad ghari Jun 09 '19 at 11:29
