Re: [ANN] SOIL | Environmental | Agriculture | Quixotic | Hackathon

I think there's no need to have two ANN threads. I've asked abvhiael to share the account of this thread with me. We would have another person with access to the OP.
I'm not a dev and it's hard to find altruistic people to get in. I'm happy for the moment to help with the technical aspects of soil but if we want to continue here, we need more people in.

I'm a C# developer, but I guess , I could learn to develop on the blockchain as well. I'll be your apprentice @abvhiael.

I think it's good fun to try and understand the ideas driving a blockchain towards common goals in benefit of the community.

So, to be able to compile the currently available source code into a gsoil.exe for Windows might be one of my first goals in this group. I just need some help in doing it. Later, I think; i can be able to do it on my own.

How to compile gsoil under windows

Code:

Get Git from http://git-scm.com/downloads
Get go windows https://golang.org/dl/
Get http://win-builds.org/doku.php
Set Environment paths
Add GOROOT pointed to c:\go and GOPATH to c:\godev
Set PATH to %PATH%;%GOROOT%\bin;%GOPATH%\bin;c:\winbuilds\bin
Install godep: "go get -u github.com/tools/godep"
go get -d -u github.com/Soilcoin/go-soil.git
go to c:\godev\src\github.com\Soilcoin\gsoil\cmd\gsoil and run "godep go install"
Find the binary in c:\godev\bin

Thanks, I'll try it out Wink
