Dependency chain: which option in my .config is requiring golang host?

For Developers
1

Currently, I cannot build the host package of golang. Is there is an easy way to determine which option in my .diffconfig is depending on the host package of golang?

2

How could we guess? Host golang can be used to bootstrap cross golang for OpenWrt

Many packages in the packages repo depend on it.

@dave14305 - Here is a way to look at a fully expanded .config to see which, if any, packages are causing host/golang to build:

grepscript.sh 
#!/bin/bash
find . -name Makefile -exec grep -l "golang\|GO_PKG\|PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS.*golang" {} \; > host-golang-packages
find . -name Makefile -exec grep -l "HOST_BUILD_DEPENDS.*golang\|PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS.*golang" {} \; >> host-golang-packages
mapfile -t list < <(grep -oP '[^/]+(?=/Makefile$)' host-golang-packages|sort|uniq)

for i in "${list[@]}"; do
  grep --color=auto "$i"= .config
done

rm -f host-golang-packages

You need to run this in your openwrt directory that is ready to build the image.
