-## Building (from scratch)

-Get the latest version (called `weekly`) of Go:
-
-1. Get Go: `hg clone -u release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ go`
-   Note the directory you have downloaded it to and set add its `bin`
-   directory to your PATH: `PATH=$PWD/go/bin`.
-
-2. Update Go to the latest weekly: `cd go; hg pull; hg update weekly`
-
-3. Compile Go: `cd src`, you should now sit in `go/src`.
-   And compile: `./all.bash`
-
->    Install missing commands (gcc, sed, bison, etc.) if needed.
-
-The latest Go is now installed. You should now have the `go`-tool,
-this is the central interface to all Go program building tasks.

-    Go is a tool for managing Go source code.

-    Usage: go command [arguments]
-
-    The commands are:
-
-    build       compile packages and dependencies
-    clean       remove object files
-    doc         run godoc on package sources
-    fix         run go tool fix on packages

-### Install Go DNS and set GOPATH
-
-The GOPATH variable specifies (among things) where *your* GO
-code lives. Using the `go` tool does bring a few requirement
-to the table in how to layout the directory structure.
-
-1. Create toplevel directory (`~/g`)for your code: `mkdir -p ~/g/src`
-2. Set GOPATH to this toplevel directory: `export GOPATH=~/g`
-1. Get dns: `cd ~/g/src; git clone git://github.com/miekg/dns.git`
-2. Compile it: `cd dns; go build`
-3. Compile and install the examples, there is a helper `Makefile` here, but it
-   just calls `go` multiple times: `cd ex; make`
-4. Look in `$GOPATH/bin` for the binaries, in this setup that will be `~/g/bin`
-4. Query with q: `~/g/bin/q mx miek.nl` (or add `~/g/bin` to your $PATH too)
-5. Report bugs
