I don't recall precisly, but it was either 'zmq.lib' missing or simply unresolved externals reported by MSVC... > This > is odd.

Mixing different compilation methods may result in different errno symbols seen by different components. Which makes me wonder whether reporting errors via errno is the right thing. The rest of the API/ABI is CRT-agnostic. The errno ties libzmq to a specific CRT implementation which can turn out to be pretty nasty in some cases. Still, errno is what people are accutomed to use... >>> 4.
