To extract dependency information from a Go package in automated way use
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/kamilchm/go2nix">go2nix</link>. It can
produce complete derivation and <varname>goDeps</varname> file for Go
programs.
</para>
<para>
<varname>buildGoPackage</varname> produces
<xref linkend='chap-multiple-output' xrefstyle="select: title" /> where
<varname>bin</varname> includes program binaries. You can test build a Go
binary as follows:
<screen>
$ nix-build -A deis.bin
</screen>
or build all outputs with:
2018-05-01 23:54:21 +00:00
<screen>
$ nix-build -A deis.all
</screen>
2018-05-01 23:54:21 +00:00
<varname>bin</varname> output will be installed by default with
<varname>nix-env -i</varname> or <varname>systemPackages</varname>.
