# Status Patches for geth (go-ethereum) cross-compiled in Xgo
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Status-go uses [go-ethereum](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum) (**upstream**) as its dependency. When cross-compiling with Xgo, some headers or definitions are not available within the Xgo environment. In such a situation, we temporarily patch the sources before kicking the build in Xgo and revert them afterwards (this is taken care by the respective Makefile targets).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We try to minimize number and amount of changes in those patches as much as possible, and whereas possible, to contribute changes into the upstream.
|
||
|

# Creating patches
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instructions for creating a patch from the command line:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Enter the command line at the go-ethereum dependency root in vendor folder.
|
||
|
|
1. Create the patch:
|
||
|
|
1. If you already have a commit that represents the change, find its SHA1 (e.g. `$COMMIT_SHA1`) and do `git diff $COMMIT_SHA1 > file.patch`
|
||
|
|
1. If the files are staged, do `git diff --cached > file.patch`
|

# Patches
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [`0001-fix-duktapev3-missing-SIZE_MAX-def.patch`](./0001-fix-duktapev3-missing-SIZE_MAX-def.patch) — Adds patch to geth 1.8.0 dependency duktapev3, to address issue where SIZE_MAX is not defined in xgo for Android
|
||
|
|
- [`0002-remove-dashboard-collectData.patch`](./0002-remove-dashboard-collectData.patch) — Deletes the body of `collectData` in the `dashboard` package, since it will import the `gosigar` package which in turn includes a header (`libproc.h`) which is missing in the iOS environment in Xgo.
