I haven't started using this great project after I saw the 8GB RAM requirement.. I want to clarify; is this for all platforms or Linux and Mac alone (I'm saying this because right below that statement is something about .profile and .bash_profile) so I'm kinda guessing a Windows machine wouldn't need that. In case the requirement is for all platforms is there something being done about reducing the requirement? Cos 8GB is definitely gonna be a huge stumbling block for some of us.

Hey
Unfortunately the 8gb ram requirement is currently for all systems.
The second statement about env variables also applies to Windows users and I probably should edit and/or separate the statements.
But there is hope, I'm currently working on a docker image which will come along with another feature that should reduce the needed amount of ram during the installation. I will therefore generate stub source code that can be used by go install on machines with fewer ram. And if needed provide binary-only packages for machines with even fewer ram.
The installation step in the setup is currently only needed for gocode auto-completion. If you don't need auto-completion you can simply remove or uncomment one line in your setup file https://github.com/therecipe/qt/issues/71#issuecomment-255122240 and run the setup. After the setup completes you can simply use qtdeploy to compile your applications.

Awww... sweet! So without the auto-completion... no 8GB requirement right?
+1 for the binary-only packages also

Yes, you only need 8gb ram if you want to use auto-completion or the raw go run/build command.

Made some changes, your can now define QT_STUB=true before running the setup file, this should work on machines with at least 1gb ram.
