Since the build.sh script runs with `set -e` (exit _immediately_ in case
of error), we cannot first call the `which` command and, on a susequent
line, check its exit status with $?, it would be too late. Instead, we
idiomatically check on the same line of the invocation of `which`.
From the confusing:
$ make bin
==> Checking for necessary tools...
make: *** [bin] Error 1
To the informative:
$ make bin
==> Checking for necessary tools...
realpath is not on the path. Exiting...
make: *** [bin] Error 1
* fix builds on linux
* Build: Move to CGO_ENABLED=0 (#9057)
After further investigation on cross-compiling Go bins on Linux. I found
that statically linking against GCC (for libc) failed to build for ARM
and introduced a possible licensing issue as our bins would essentially
be bundling libc into the bin. Diving further into cross compiling on Linux
I found that the defacto solution is to compile with CGO disabled - this
was also found to be the case for other HashiCorp products.
Disabling CGO has the limitation of not allowing the use of any pkg that
calls out to C (net, os), but in looking into the Packer code base and
the relevant Go code base it appears that the latest versions of Go have
pure Go implementations of the said packages so I believe we are good to
go. I should also point out that CGO is disabled by default when cross
compiling via `go build`. However, the GOX tool will enable it if it is
not explicitly disabled.
Below are three test cases executed to validate the compile bins work as
expected.

this will for example allow me to have the following alias:
alias buildmain='export T=$(mktemp -d) && ALL_XC_OS="linux darwin windows" ALL_XC_ARCH="amd64" GOLDFLAGS="-s -w" ./scripts/build.sh && cd pkg/ && for dir in *; do zip -r "$dir.zip" $dir & ; done ; wait && mv *.zip $T/. && open $T'
that build only on 'main' platforms, so that I can share binaries easily.
- encapsulated code in functions to make it more readable
- validate presence of used tools/binaries (check if they're in PATH)
- more output
- FIX: make all uname/OSTYPE output to lowercase and check only for that
- refactored method name convert_path -> convertPathOnCygwin
- gave convert_path two arguments to make it more readable (Readability over tight code? I don't know what is required)
- some variable expansion now uses braces
This fixes building `packer` with Go >1.6. From https://golang.org/cmd/link/:
```
-X importpath.name=value
Set the value of the string variable in importpath named name to value.
Note that before Go 1.5 this option took two separate arguments.
Now it takes one argument split on the first = sign.
```
- Fix updatedeps reverting to master, which causes Travis CI to produce invalid results for pull-request builds. The makefile attempts to detect this change and checkout the correct branch if it happens.
- Clean up the code style and failure messaging.
- Add / update proxy targets for common workflows: default, deps, ci, release
