can we use bpf2go without go?

[chent1996]

I need to use bpf2go on a VM but that VM doesn't have go, so I can only install the bpf2go binary from my PC using go install then export the binary to the VM.

So I was wondering why it has to be invoked by go, as it said, bpf2go was inspired by bpftool, then I guess it should be able to run independently.

You can go build it and then pass the neccessary environment variables yourself.

P.S.: Hopefully this should make things clearer for the next person: #1267

I'm open to making bpf2go work for bazel users, as long as developing and testing the library doesn't require a bazel dependency. Are you willing to contribute the work necessary to do that? If yes, it'd be great if you could drop into our slack channel to discuss what would have to change.

Yes, I just convinced myself to work on this and try to make some modifications to at least allow me to build this whole thing using Bazel.

Hi, I just created a new PR about this: #1265 (reply in thread)

And it works in my bazel project now :)

I don't know how to join the slack group as it is my first time using slack, and it keeps rejecting me and telling me that my email has to be from one of those two domains..? Is this my problem or does this slack group only allow people from these two organizations?
