When I compile for another platform (I'm on Windows), I have a file without permissions at the output?

What could be the problem?
Maybe the problem is that you need to rebuild go from source?

Answer 1

When I compile for another platform (I'm on Windows), I have a file without permissions at the output?

And what, the file must be with the extension? In all POSIX, and Linux in particular, ELF executables always (often) have no extension... or they can have 2, 3, 4, 5... ;-)
What platform are you compiling for?
Do not "sit on Windows" ... - get up from Windows? ;-)

Answer 2

An executable file with no extension is fine, see executable file format description for required platforms
