[zeromq-dev] How to use the libzmq binaries for Windows?

[Full Name]

Hello everyone,

Have this question related to the Windows distribution of ZeroMQ.

In the http://zeromq.org/distro:microsoft-windows I see tables of libzmq* binaries listed. What are they for?

I'm trying to build the Java Binding for ZeroMQ for Win7 x64 and following this guide: http://zeromq.org/bindings:java. The "Windows 64bit Build Instructions" works up to "Linking CXX shared library lib\jzmq.dll" where it complains about not finding libzmq.lib. 

I'm using the Windows install ZeroMQ-3.2.4~miru1.0-x64.exe with WinSDK 7.1 (I'm compiling from command line since I don't have Visual Studio) and saw those files in the install page. So I renamed libzmq-v100-mt-3_2_4.lib to libzmq.lib, tried nmake again and it worked. I have a dll (21KB) and a jar (43KB) as output.

I went with a hunch on that one and happened to work. Is that correct? Is that what the listed libzmq* binaries are for or....?

This is posted on the the project github page also: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/issues/1128
