Hi all,

Also posting on dc404, and raspberrypi.org forums.

I'm trying to get set up for programming on the raspberry pi (arm6 cpu) in the go language. You can install go on the pi and compile things there, BUT, I'm looking for a good basic IDE for go. I haven't found one that looks good that runs on the pi. So, I'd like to build my development environment on on Windows, probably running the Zeus IDE. ( http://www.zeusedit.com/ ) WINE might come to mind. But, aside from the resource limits, WINE won't help me run Zeus on the pi because Zeus is compiled for x86 and pi is running on arm. WINE does not emulate an x86 on an arm platform. It just makes the Windows x86 api available on x86 platforms. So, I'll be running Zeus on my Windows machine and writing code. Then, I want to cross compile the executables to run on the pi's arm chip. I know go can do this, and I've found David Cheny's website discussing the subject after googling. But, I was wondering do any of you have knowledge or experience of how to do this. It's not like something I've ever tried before, and I like the idea of having local contacts in Atlanta.

Here's the link I already found, but haven't had a chance to plod through yet.

Zeus is $ 90, which I'm willing to spend. But, since it won't run on the pi, I need to know I can cross compile before I buy it.

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ron
