ActiveMQ

Install Apache ActiveMQ

• Download ActiveMQ from http://activemq.apache.org, both the tar file and the key file.
• Copied both files to /usr/local/activemq.
• Verifying the checksum with PGP did not work on "halld-sc" computer. Ignored it for now.
• Untared the tar-file in the /usr/local/activemq directory.
• Go to /usr/local/activemq/apache-activemq-5.5.1 directory and start by issuing

cd bin
./activemq console (interactive mode)
./activemq start (batch mode)

• When checking the port with netstat I get

halld-sc:apache-activemq-5.5.1> netstat -an | fgrep 61616 
tcp        0      0 :::61616                    :::*                        LISTEN      

indicating that ActiveMQ is running.

Install C++ API

cd /usr/local/src
cp /usr/downloads/activemq-cpp-library-3.8.2-src.tar .
tar xvf activemq-cpp-library-3.8.2-src.tar
rm activemq-cpp-library-3.8.2-src.tar
cd activemq-cpp-library-3.8.2-src
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

Running C++ example

Go to /usr/local/src/activemq-cpp-library-3.8.2-src. Modify src/examples/main.cpp file setting hostname where ActiveMQ broker is running, line

"failover:(tcp://localhost:61616".

Type 'make', the run it:

./src/examples/example

It will print messages like 'Message #1993 Received: Hello world! from thread 140724062602600' and in the end 'Time to completion = 0.178 seconds.'.
