Building MailHog
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
MailHog is built using `make`, and using [this Makefile](Makefile).
|
|
|
|
If you aren't making any code changes, you can install MailHog using
|
|
`go get github.com/mailhog/MailHog`, since [assets.go](MailHog-UI/assets/assets.go)
|
|
is already pre-compiled and committed to this repository.
|
|
|
|
### Why do I need a Makefile?
|
|
|
|
MailHog has HTML, CSS and Javascript assets which need to be converted
|
|
to a go source file using [go-bindata](https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata).
|
|
|
|
This must happen before running `go build` or `go install` to avoid compilation
|
|
errors (e.g., `no buildable Go source files in MailHog-UI/assets`).
|
|
|
|
### go generate
|
|
|
|
The build should be updated to use `go generate` (added in Go 1.4) to
|
|
preprocess static assets into go source files.
|
|
|
|
However, this will break backwards compatibility with Go 1.2/1.3.
|
|
|
|
### Building a release
|
|
|
|
Releases are built using [gox](https://github.com/mitchellh/gox).
|
|
|
|
Run `make release` to cross-compile for all available platforms.
