Once the client becomes actually usable, I'll start making GitHub releases with precompiled executables. For now, you can either download a CI build from dl.maunium.net/programs/gomuks or compile from source:

Install Go 1.12 or higher
Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/tulir/gomuks.git && cd gomuks
Build: go build

Simply pull changes (git pull) and run go build again to update.

Developing

Set DEBUG=1 to enable partial deadlock detection and to write panics to stdout instead of a file.

To build and run with race detection, use go install -race and set GORACE='history_size=7 log_path=/tmp/gomuks/race.log' when starting gomuks, then check /tmp/gomuks/race.log.<pid>. Note that race detection will use a lot of extra resources.

For debugging, use tail -f /tmp/gomuks/debug.log and write to it using the methods in the maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug package:

package foo

import (
	"maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug"
)

func Foo() {
	debug.Print("WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!?!?")
	debug.PrintStack()
}
