[zeromq-dev] Using ZeroMQ in VS2012 C++

[Shon Love]

Hey,

  To use the ZeroMQ stuff from the installer (for Windows/C++/Visual
Studio), you need to make sure the project you're working on has the 0mq
'include' folder in the include path, the 'lib' folder in the libraries
path, the actual library (.lib) file whose dll you'll be using must be in
the additional includes for the exe, and the dll file must be in the path
for the exe when you run the application (phew!)

So:

  1. Add the path to 0mq's 'include' folder to your project's include path.
  2. Add the path to 0mq's 'lib' folder to your project's additional
library path.
  3. Add the libzmq<whatever>.lib file to the list of additional libraries
your exe will link against.
  4. Make sure the libzmq<whatever>.dll file is in the PATH for your
application's exe when it is run.  For debugging, I often copy the
appropriate .dll file into the build folder for the application, but
installing the libzmq*.dll files into the normal execution path works, too.

  Hope you can make sense of any of that :)

Thanks,
Shon
