INSTALLING
==========
If you are on some kind of Linux environment, installing the library is as easy
as running `make` and `make install`. This will install the full version of
the AMQP-CPP, including the system specific TCP module. If you do not need the
additional TCP module (because you take care of handling the network stuff
yourself), you can also compile a pure form of the library. Use `make pure`
and `make install` for that.
For users on a non-Linux environment: this library is known to work on these
environments too, but it might take some extra work. Please send in your pull
requests once you have it running, so that others can benefit from your experiences.
When you write an application that makes use of the AMQP-CPP library, do not
forget to link with the library. For gcc and clang the linker flag is -lamqpcpp.
If you use the fullblown version of AMQP-CPP (with the TCP module), you also
need to pass a -lpthread linker flag, because the TCP module uses a thread
for running an asynchronous and non-blocking DNS hostname lookup.
