The Go tool chain is written in C.
To build it, you need a C compiler installed.
</p>
<p>
On OS X, a C compiler is bundled in the command line tools for
<a href="http://developer.apple.com/Xcode/">Xcode</a>,
and you don't need to install the whole Xcode to compile Go.
If you have already installed Xcode 4.3+, you can install command
line tools from the Components tab of the Downloads preferences panel.
To verify you have a working compiler, just invoke <code>gcc</code>
in a freshly created Terminal window, unless you see the
"<code>gcc: command not found</code>" error, you are ready to go.
</p>
<p>
On Ubuntu/Debian, use <code>sudo apt-get install gcc libc6-dev</code>.
If you want to build 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit system you'll also need the
<code>libc6-dev-i386</code> package.
</p>
<p>
On Windows, install <code>gcc</code> with
<a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>.
(Make sure you add its <code>bin</code> subdirectory to your <code>PATH</code>.)
The Go tool chain is written in C. To build it, you need a C compiler installed.
Please refer to the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/InstallFromSource#Install_C_tools">InstallFromSource</a>
page on the Go community Wiki for operating system specific instructions.
