Where are the binaries? about codesearch

[junkblocker]

If you are ok with a fork with some changes, you can get binaries from https://github.com/junkblocker/codesearch/releases .

The README contains information that is outdated from when it was hosted on code.google.com. Binaries must be built from source. Install a Go compiler and then run

go get github.com/google/codesearch/cmd/{csearch,cindex}

Damian, the README should be update (a45d81b).

[dgryski]

The README was updated to mention the move from code.google.com, but not the new lack of provided binaries. Precompiled binaries are currently not available.

[frederich]

Agreed!

[suntong]

The README, which says,

Binary downloads are available for those who do not have Go installed.
See https://github.com/google/codesearch.

should really be corrected.

BTW, I bet most of those people seeking binary downloads are Windows people.
I myself is looking for Windows binary just to save me doing compiling myself on that pathetic platform.

"A fork ... to make it a more generally usable tool"
I like it!
and thanks too for the precompiled binaries for Windows, that pathetic platform I hate doing compiling on my own.
