Zip Go file using AWS Lambda Tool

Question

I am trying to generate an exe file with this command in windows 10

go.exe get -u github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/cmd/build-lambda-zip

the file comes back as linux_amd64/build-lambda-zip instead of build-lambda-zip.exe

Has anyone experienced this and know what the fix is? I am using the AWS docs here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/golang-package.html

If you want to create bin, use install command with override $GOOS var (Compile and install packages and dependencies ):

GOOS=windows go install  github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/cmd/build-lambda-zip

exe file will be store to $GOBIN.

there was another way to access the aws lambda tools

I found it in

%USERPROFILE%\dotnet\tools.store\amazon.lambda.tools\4.0.0\amazon.lambda.tools\4.0.0\tools\netcoreapp2.1\any\Resources\build-lambda-zip.exe

if its not there we can get it from aws directly but running this command

dotnet tool update -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools
