Issue
I want to automate the compilation of GO lang. I have shell script
for i in *.go
do
echo "go build -o ${i%.*} $i"
done
but this is just printing out the output but not executing.
Output: ./c.sh
go build -o binarytrees binarytrees.go
go build -o fannkuch fannkuch.go
go build -o fasta.go-2 fasta.go-2.go
but it does not actually execute these commands.
Solution
echo commands doesn't execute the statements rather they just print the expression written under "".
To complete the build you would do something like this
for i in *.go
do
echo "go build -o ${i%.*} $i"
go build -o ${i%.*} $i
done
Or you can even pipe your command into shell by echo "go build x y" | bash -
