Learn what software is needed and how to install

Software required to build a Golang resource:

• Go >= 1.21.0
• mingw-w64 (Windows) >= ?
• GCC (Linux) >= 9.3.0

Including usage requirement. Make is optional - you can also run the commands manually.

• CMake >= 3.16.0
• MSVC (Windows) >= ?
• Make (optional) >= 4.3

In case you wonder why you need mingw-w64 additionally to MSVC on windows:
We are using MSVC in order to build the go-module runtime library, but we need mingw-w64 to build the c-api for the go compiler.

1. At first follow these instructions until step 5 to install mingw-w64 using msys2: https://www.msys2.org/

2. Inside the MSYS2 terminal run

   pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
   pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-dlfcn

3. Lastly close the MSYS2 terminal and add the mingw-w64 bin directory to your PATH environment variable.
   You are ready to build your go project as usual.
