    Building Go on z System

    GOPATH Set up environment variable $GOPATH

Note:

GODEPS:

Consul uses [godeps](https://github.com/tools/godep] as its internal 
dependencies management tool

GOX:

Gonsul uses [gox](https://github.com/mitchellh/gox) as its cross-compile tool

Building Consul from its source

  1. Make directory & clone the source code

    mkdir $GOPATH/src
cd $GOPATH/src
mkdir -p ./github.com/hashicorp
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp
git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/consul.git

  2. Modify build script

    cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul/scripts

  3. Modify file $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul/scripts/build.sh with your choice of editor

    replace line from 40 to 45 with "cd $DIR" and add "go install" to the following line

    These lines invoke tool gox and compile for different ARCH and OS combos.Unfortunately, gox does not support s390x arch for now.Therefore, in order to build consul for z System, it is required to use the native build tool of go.

  4. Replace sys package

     cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul/vendor/golang.org/x
 mv sys sys.bak
 git clone https://github.com/linux-on-ibm-z/sys.git

  5. Build consul

    cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul/
make

There might be some error messages, but we can ignore them for now

  1. Verify build success

    cd $GOPATH/bin
./consul
