func Build ¶

func Build(buildString string) (string, error)

Runs a command to build a program. First word in buildCommand must be a executable command, the others are arguments. Writes output and errors to the console. Waits for command to finish before exiting.

func Run ¶

func Run(runCommand string, stopChannel chan bool) bool

Runs a long process that needs to be manually killed. Killing a process is accomplished by sending a true boolean value to stopChannel. Logs all errors and output to the console.

Internally, it sprouts three new goroutines. Two to read from os.Stdout and os.Stderr respectively, and a last one to kill the process when stopChannel recieves true.
