For anyone interested in a Windows port of the qpid amqp 1.0, I have Visual
Studio 10 snapshots available on my github webpage.
(Visual Studio port of proton and a qpid port loading proton)
I placed my Visual Studio port of the qpid project on my github website.
https://github.com/MaryDHinton/qpid/tree/qpidWinSnap
You can download a zip file by selecting the ZIP button on the Webpage.
To compile and run this code you will also need to download, compile, and
run the Snapshot code of the proton Windows port.
It is located at:
https://github.com/MaryDHinton/qpid-proton/tree/protonWinSnap
Both projects are set up for Visual Studio 10 and debug mode. I don't know
any reason why they wouldn't work for Visual Studio 12.
============== Proton ===============
To compile and run the proton port code, all you should need to do is:
Select the zip button on the page above and extract the code.
Select the proton.sln file in the proton-c folder and open it in Visual
Studio 2010.
Compile the qpid-proton and proton projects.
Go to the Debug folder and run proton (the debug version is the only mode
set up, the release will have to be set up).
I set up an environment variable for the proton after building the proton
dll, then added this environment variable to the qpid project in the C/C++
properties page (Additional Include Directories).
Set the environment variable
PROTON_INCLUDE --- to your environment. Mine is set to:
C:\proton\protonWinSnap\qpid-proton\proton-c\include;C:\proton\protonWinSnap
\qpid-proton\proton-c
I also have the path to proton executable set in my environment path
c:\qpid\qpid\proton\proton-c\Debug
After the proton dll and proton executable are compiled, you can run proton
in server and client mode.
Server mode:
Open up a dialog box and change to the proton path and run
proton
Client mode:
Open up a second dialog box and change to the proton path and run
proton -c 127.0.0.1
You should be able to see messages passed between a proton client and
server.
============ QPID AMQP 1.0 ===============
For QPID, I used Boost 1.51.0.
I have a solution file (qpid-cpp-Snap.sln) for the qpid port that includes
only the projects to compile, run, and test the qpid amqp 1.0 for Visual
Studio.
projects included:
amqp
amqpc
hello_world
qpid-client-test
qpidbroker
qpidclient
qpidcommon
qpidd
qpidmessaqing
qpidtypes
You may need to check the Visual Studio Properties for the 10 projects in
this solution and make sure the paths are correct on your pc.
I used the path C:\qpidWin to put the extracted files from the zip.
After building both the proton Windows port and the QPID port for the
server and client, the amqp 1.0 can be loaded in the server with the
following command from the path where your dlls and executables are located.
The path setup in this solution is:
c:\qpidWin\Debug
server
c:\qpidWin\qpidWinSnap\qpid\qpid\cpp\output\Debug>qpidd
--load-module amqpd --auth no
clients
set the environment variable
QPID_LOAD_MODULE to amqpcd
hello_world client
hello_world
qpid-client-test client
qpid-client-test --verbose
response:
Opened connection.
Opened session.
Declared exchange.
Declared queue.
Bound queue to exchange.
Published message: abcdefghijklmnop...
Received the exepected message.
Closed session.
Closed connection.
If you are using Norton's antivirus, you may have to disable checking for
the Suspicious.Cloud.7.F signature.
Original email on these snapshots was sent as:
"Windows Snapshot of QPID that loads the AMQP 1.0 module (proton windows
port)"
on 12/18/2012
to d...@qpid.apache.org
and
"Proton Port for Windows"
on 11/14/2012
proton@qpid.apache.org
So both ports need to be rebased. I'm planning to do this soon, since a new
release is out for proton
Thanks,
Mary Hinton

Rafael and Ted,
Thanks for your help on this. I'm excited to see that proton is getting a
Windows port since I wasn't able to build it in VS2012 successfully.
Thanks,
Taylor

If you run cmake this way you can build the minimal code needed for just the
proton library and its python bindings:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_PYTHON=ON -DBUILD_PHP=OFF
-DBUILD_PERL=OFF -DBUILD_RUBY=OFF <path_to_src_tree>
A quick test on my system shows that a make install based on the above build
works out to about 1.4MB. Stripping out header files and some package config
stuff would get you down to about 1.2MB if you want to go super barebones.
