I'm trying to build a Go package with the build flag -buildmode=c-shared. I'm expecting to get two files myfile.so and myfile.h. However, I'm only getting the .so file. Why is this and how can I fix it?
The full command I am running is:
go build -o myfile.so -buildmode=c-shared myfile.go
I found my "instructions" here as I am planning on calling myfile from Python.
This is my Go code:
package main
import (
"C"
"bytes"
"log"
"encoding/json"
"net/http"
)
func call_request(arg1, arg2, arg3 string) {
// simple golang code to submit a http post request
}
func main () {
}
This is a basic summary of my code, without posting my whole code. However, it may be useful to note that running the example in the link above created a .so and .h file.
As @JimB said, the issue was there was not a header file:
Updated code:
package main
import (
"C"
"bytes"
"log"
"encoding/json"
"net/http"
)
//export call_request
func call_request(arg1, arg2, arg3 string) {
// simple golang code to submit a http post request
}
func main () {
}
