Re: [openmq-dev] How to build OpenMQ C Client for Windows

[George Lee <gltrsh1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Piotrek,

The Solaris cppflags property in mq/src/buildant/default.properties specifies these: -DXP_UNIX -DSOLARIS

Should the Linux cppflags specify something like this? -DXP_LINUX -DLINUX

Should the Windows cppflags I am creating specify something like this? -DXP_WIN32 -DWIN32

And do these apply to the Linux or Windows cppflags as well? -D_REENTRANT and -DSYSV

Thanks,
George

We've had a lot of trouble trying to build/install very old versions of NSS/NSPR and haven't found a place that offers the build artifacts for download. So we are unfortunately still unable to successfully make a 64-bit build of the OpenMQ 6.2.0 C Client.

RN is outdated then.
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/openmq-dev/msg00233.html lists versions
currently used in tests.

> Unrelated question: Is it possible to use OpenMQ 6.2.0 and its C Client by themselves without Glassfish? We have a few topics that our server-side code publishes messages to, and our clients subscribe to those topics.

Yes. The stand-alone OpenMQ broker is used in GitHub workflows and on
Jenkins. See https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/openmq/guides/mq-admin-guide/toc.html
for details.
