+# Building windows go programs on linux
+
+I use linux/386, but, I suspect, this procedure will apply to other host platforms as well.
+
+First step is to build host version of go:
+
+```
+$ cd $GOROOT/src
+$ ./make.bash
+```
+
+Next you need to build the rest of go compilers and linkers. I have small program to do that:
+
+```
+$ cat ~/bin/buildcmd
+#!/bin/sh
+set -e
+for arch in 8 6; do
+ for cmd in a c g l; do
+ go tool dist install -v cmd/$arch$cmd
+ done
+done
+exit 0
+```
+
+Last step is to build windows versions of standard commands and libraries. I have small script for that too:
+
+```
+$ cat ~/bin/buildpkg
+#!/bin/sh
+if [ -z "$1" ]; then
+ echo 'GOOS is not specified' 1>&2
+ exit 2
+else
+ export GOOS=$1
+ if [ "$GOOS" = "windows" ]; then
+ export CGO_ENABLED=0
+ fi
+fi
+shift
+if [ -n "$1" ]; then
+ export GOARCH=$1
+fi
+cd $GOROOT/src
+go tool dist install -v pkg/runtime
+go install -v -a std
+```
+
+I run it like that:
+
+```
+$ ~/bin/buildpkg windows 386
+```
+
+to build windows/386 version of Go commands and packages. You can, probably, see it from my script, I exclude building of any cgo related parts - these will not work for me, since I do not have correspondent gcc cross-compiling tools installed. So I just skip those.
+
+Now we're ready to build our windows executable:
+
+```
+$ cat hello.go
+package main
+
+import "fmt"
+
+func main() {
+ fmt.Printf("Hello\n")
+}
+$ GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 go build -o hello.exe hello.go
+```
+
+We just need to find Windows computer to run our hello.exe.
