How can I build golang app with tags using gin?

Question

A critical component of my golang app uses the ported GraphicsMagick library which requires building the library with -tags gm.

For example:

go build -tags gm

However, I'm building the web service based on the negroni framework and running it with gin which allows me to run the app with the command gin. I cannot find any way of passing build tags to gin. Any suggestions?

Not an ideal solution but it appears codegangsta/gin is abandoned so support for build tags simply won't be added. Instead, Github user omeid has compiled a patch and using his fork of gin will allow use of build tags.

go get github.com/omeid/gin
gin -tags gm
