radius-build-cli

Build the Radius CLI from source for local development by running the default Makefile target build-rad, which compiles the Go binary and outputs the executable to the dist directory.

Cross-compile the Radius CLI across Linux, macOS, and Windows by invoking platform-specific Makefile targets using the build-rad-<os>-<arch> naming convention, generating binaries for each target operating system and architecture.

Create a debug build of the Radius CLI by setting the DEBUG=1 environment variable when running the make command. This configures the build process to include debugging symbols and disable optimizations.

The Radius CLI build process injects version metadata via Go linker flags during compilation. This ensures traceability by embedding version information directly into the binary for verification through version output.

Verify a Radius CLI build after compilation by executing the generated binary from the dist directory and checking its version output. This validates that the build completed successfully and the version injection worked correctly.

You need Make to compile the Radius CLI binary because the build process relies on predefined Makefile targets like build-rad and build-rad-<os>-<arch> to automate the Go compilation and cross-compilation steps.
