Linux Build instructions

git clone --recursive --depth=1 https://github.com/sagernet/cronet-go.git
cd cronet-go
go run ./cmd/build-naive --target=linux/amd64 download-toolchain
#go run ./cmd/build-naive --target=linux/amd64 --libc=musl download-toolchain

# Outputs CC, CXX, and CGO_LDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld
export $(go run ./cmd/build-naive --target=linux/amd64 env)
#export $(go run ./cmd/build-naive --target=linux/amd64 --libc=musl env)

cd /path/to/your/project
go build
# go build -tags with_musl

Windows / purego Build Instructions

For Windows or pure Go builds (no CGO), you need to distribute the dynamic library alongside your binary.

Download Library

Download libcronet.dll (Windows) or libcronet.so (Linux) from GitHub Releases.

Build with purego

# Windows (purego is required)
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -tags with_purego -o myapp.exe

# Linux with purego (optional, for dynamic linking)
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -tags with_purego -o myapp

Distribution

Place the library file in the same directory as your executable:

• Windows: libcronet.dll
• Linux: libcronet.so

For Downstream Developers

If you need to programmatically extract libraries from Go module dependencies (e.g., for CI/CD pipelines):

go run github.com/sagernet/cronet-go/cmd/build-naive@latest extract-lib --target windows/amd64 -n libcronet_amd64.dll
go run github.com/sagernet/cronet-go/cmd/build-naive@latest extract-lib --target linux/amd64 -n libcronet_amd64.so
