Latest Stable Version

The latest stable version of the amqp11 library can be found at:

• https://github.com/AmrFaissal/amqp11/releases/latest

Getting started

Building and Installing

Dependencies :

• CMake v2.6 or better
• A C++11 compiler (GCC 4.8+, clang)
• rabbitmq-c library
• Boost library version 1.54.0+

After downloading and extracting the source from a tarball to a directory. ([see above][Latest Stable Version]), the commands to build amqp11 on most systems are:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

It is also possible to point the CMake GUI tool at the CMakeLists.txt in the root of the source tree and generate build projects or IDE workspace.

Installing the library and optionally specifying a prefix can be done with:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
cmake --build . --target install

More information on CMake can be found on its FAQ.

Running the examples

Arrange for a RabbitMQ or other AMQP server to be running on localhost at TCP port number 5672.

Build the examples:

cd examples && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

In one terminal, run:

$./example_publish

In another terminal,

$./example_consume

You should see output similar to the following in the listener's terminal window:
