Golang build script in shell script to create coherent binaries and cross-platform packages.
Copy the scripts to your golang project, add a LICENSE.txt and define variables variables in build.conf.
I'm in this case getting AppName and AppVersion from the config.go. If this is missing, it will still create a build folder. (If this is a good way to store global constants used in both application/build-tools in Golang I'm not sure yet)
Currently in development. Regular build commands should work cross-platform.
Distributable only been tested on MacOS so far which is verified to work. Need to be tested and troubleshot on Windows and Linux.
