How to Install ZeroMQ on NetBSD

ZeroMQ is a messaging library that allows you to build distributed applications. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing ZeroMQ on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following installed on your NetBSD system:

• GCC
• GNU Make

Installing ZeroMQ

1. Download the ZeroMQ source code from the official website: http://zeromq.org/

2. Extract the downloaded file using the command:

   $ tar xvf zeromq-4.x.x.tar.gz
   

   Note: Replace 4.x.x with the latest version number available.

3. Navigate to the extracted directory using the command:

   $ cd zeromq-4.x.x
   

4. Compile the source code by running the following commands in order:

   $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
   $ make
   

5. Once the compilation is complete, you can install ZeroMQ by running the following command:

   $ sudo make install
   

Note: This will install ZeroMQ in the /usr/local directory. If you want it to be installed in a different location, modify the prefix path in the configure command accordingly.

6. Verify that the installation was successful by running the following command:

   $ ldconfig -r | grep libzmq
   

   This command should display the path of the ZeroMQ library file.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed ZeroMQ on your NetBSD system. You can now start building distributed applications using this messaging library.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
