You can easily cross-compile restic for all supported platforms, just supply
the target OS and platform via the command-line options like this (for Windows
and FreeBSD respectively):
$ go run build.go --goos windows --goarch amd64
$ go run build.go --goos freebsd --goarch 386
The resulting binary is statically linked and does not require any libraries.
More documentation can be found in the [user manual](doc/Manual.md).
At the moment, the only tested compiler for restic is the official Go compiler.
