My experience with go build ./... is that it compiles everything but it doesn't make the binaries.

> When compiling multiple packages or a single non-main package, build compiles the packages but discards the resulting object, serving only as a check that the packages can be built.

From https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Compile_packages_and_dependenc...

A bit annoying when you want to build a bunch of executables, but it's not something I need often and it's easy to script.




  go build -o some/dir/ ./...
will actually output the binaries


Sick, I couldn't figure it out when I needed it so I just manually created a 20 line script to cd into each directory and go build.
