| Instructions to get an initial godoc running on a local app engine emulator |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| To run godoc under the app engine emulator, create a ("goroot") godoc |
| directory that contains the app.yaml file, the doc and lib directories |
| from the Go distribution, as well as a godoc directory with the godoc |
| sources from src/cmd/godoc. In the godoc source directory, replace |
| main.go with init.go. The directory structure should look as follows: |
| |
| godoc // "goroot" directory |
| app.yaml // app engine control file |
| doc // goroot/doc directory |
| favicon.ico |
| godoc // contains godoc sources |
| godoc.go // unchanged godoc file |
| init.go // this file instead of godoc/main.go |
| ... // remaining godoc files |
| lib // goroot/lib directory |
| |
| Run app engine emulator locally: dev_appserver.py -a <hostname> godoc |
| where godoc is the top-level "goroot" directory. The godoc home page |
| is then served at: <hostname>:8080 . |
