Autotools test project, using a variety of technologies

• C++
• ZMQ
• Google ProtoBuf

After cloning, run

autoreconf

Probably also run (if prompted to do so)

automake --add-missing

This should set up the autotools project on cygwin or any gnu/linux system

Run ./configure to get your Makefile prepared. Deal with any missing libraries and run ./configure again until this succeeds. See note below about libraries.

All being well, run

make

It should incrementally re-build as required after any source edits.

Clean up the build with

make clean

Really clean up with...

make distclean

...you will need to run ./configure again.

After "make distclean", running "git status" should show only your edits and any potentially meaningful new files.

###Cygwin library installation Notes relate to Cygwin 32 on Windows 64bit. Probably applicable to other versions.

apt-cyg is a script that allows additional libraries to be installed

• https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg

Place the script on your path e.g. /usr/bin/apt-cyg

This should make installation of protobuf and zmq easier:

apt-cyg install libprotobuf-devel
apt-cyg install libzmqpp-devel

The example code uses the cppzmq headers from here

• https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq

Copy zmq.hpp and zmq_addon.hpp to /usr/include
