<para><xref linkend='ex-buildGoPackage'/> is an example expression using buildGoPackage,
the following arguments are of special significance to the function:
<calloutlist>
<callout arearefs='ex-buildGoPackage-1'>
<para>
<varname>goPackagePath</varname> specifies the package's canonical Go import path.
</para>
</callout>
<callout arearefs='ex-buildGoPackage-2'>
<para>
<varname>subPackages</varname> limits the builder from building child packages that
have not been listed. If <varname>subPackages</varname> is not specified, all child
packages will be built.
</para>
<para>
In this example only <literal>github.com/deis/deis/client</literal> will be built.
</para>
</callout>
<callout arearefs='ex-buildGoPackage-3'>
<para>
<varname>goDeps</varname> is where the Go dependencies of a Go program are listed
in a JSON format described below.
</para>
</callout>
<callout arearefs='ex-buildGoPackage-4'>
<para>
<varname>buildFlags</varname> is a list of flags passed to the go build command.
</para>
</callout>
</calloutlist>
</para>
<para>The <varname>goDeps</varname> attribute should point to a JSON file that defines which Go libraries
are needed and should be included in <varname>GOPATH</varname> for <varname>buildPhase</varname>.

<varname>buildGoPackage</varname> produces <xref linkend='chap-multiple-output' xrefstyle="select: title" />
where <varname>bin</varname> includes program binaries. You can test build a Go binary as follows:
<screen>
$ nix-build -A deis.bin
</screen>
or build all outputs with:
<screen>
$ nix-build -A deis.all
</screen>
<varname>bin</varname> output will be installed by default with <varname>nix-env -i</varname>
or <varname>systemPackages</varname>.

<para>
You may use Go packages installed into the active Nix profiles by adding
the following to your ~/.bashrc:
<screen>
for p in $NIX_PROFILES; do
GOPATH="$p/share/go:$GOPATH"
done
</screen>
</para>
<para>To extract dependency information from a Go package in automated way use <link xlink:href="https://github.com/kamilchm/go2nix">go2nix</link>.
It can produce complete derivation and <varname>goDeps</varname> file for Go programs.</para>
