Chapter 3. Getting started
This chapter guides you through the steps to set up your environment and run a simple messaging program.
3.1. Prerequisites
- You must complete the installation procedure for your environment.
-
You must have an AMQP 1.0 message broker listening for connections on interface
localhostand port5672. It must have anonymous access enabled. For more information, see Starting the broker. -
You must have a queue named
examples. For more information, see Creating a queue.
3.2. Running Hello World on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The Hello World example creates a connection to the broker, sends a message containing a greeting to the examples queue, and receives it back. On success, it prints the received message to the console.
Procedure
Copy the examples to a location of your choosing.
$ cp -r /usr/share/proton/examples/cpp cpp-examples
Create a build directory and change to that directory:
$ mkdir cpp-examples/bld $ cd cpp-examples/bld
Use
cmaketo configure the build and usemaketo compile the examples.$ cmake .. $ make
Run the
helloworldprogram.$ ./helloworld Hello World!
