Welcome to nanomsg

The nanomsg library is a simple high-performance implementation of several “scalability protocols”. These scalability protocols are light-weight messaging protocols which can be used to solve a number of very common messaging patterns, such as request/reply, publish/subscribe, surveyor/respondent, and so forth. These protocols can run over a variety of transports such as TCP, UNIX sockets, and even WebSocket.

For more information check the website.

Prerequisites

1. Windows.

   • Windows Vista or newer (Windows XP and 2003 are NOT supported)
   • Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (including C++) or newer, or mingw-w64 (Specifically mingw and older Microsoft compilers are *NOT supported)
   • CMake 2.8.7 or newer, available in $PATH as cmake

2. POSIX (Linux, MacOS X, UNIX)

   • ANSI C compiler supporting C89
   • POSIX pthreads (should be present on all modern POSIX systems)
   • BSD sockets support for both TCP and UNIX domain sockets
   • CMake (http://cmake.org) 2.8.7 or newer, available in $PATH as cmake

3. Documentation (optional)

   • asciidoctor (http://asciidoctor.org/) available as asciidoctor
   • If not present, docs are not formatted, but left in readable ASCII
   • Also available on-line at http://nanomsg.org/documentation

Build it with CMake

1. Go to the root directory of the local source repository.
2. To perform an out-of-source build, run:
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. cmake .. (You can add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local or some other directory.)
6. cmake --build .
7. ctest -C Debug .
8. cmake --build . --target install NB: This may have to be done as a privileged user.
