Building from Source

This application cannot be go get, because it does not come with a word list. If you want a binary, head over to the releases page on Github. The following instructions are available to those that want to build from source.

Get a copy of this repository, without compiling:

$ go get -d github.com/ripta/diceware
$ cd $GOPATH/github.com/ripta/diceware

Get and install go-bindata, which is required to package the word list into the binary:

$ go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...

Download the diceware word list, and use go-bindata to generate a file named bindata.go in this repository:

$ curl -sL -o data/diceware.asc 'http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.wordlist.asc'
$ curl -sL -o data/diceware8k.txt 'http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware8k.txt'
$ go-bindata data

Build the binary:

$ go build

And if $GOPATH/bin is in your $PATH, then diceware should just work.

New Word Lists

All files ending in .txt and .asc inside data/ are available. A .txt file is assumed to be a straight list of one word per line, while a .asc file is assumed to be a tab-separated garbage\tword with one entry on each line.

Place the file in data/, name it correctly, rerun go-bindata, and go build. The new binary should show the new file under the list command.
