This is a fork to meet my requirements. If you have no specific requirements fulfilled by this fork, then it would be better to use the original. It may be of interest when:
1. SSL connections are required.
2. SunOS or AIX are platforms of interest.
3. Order of fields/tags for outgoing messages is important (configurable, not on by default).
4. There is also some EMX platform related functionality which can be enabled through
a compile flag.
5. Arbitrary precision (upto nanoseconds) timestamps need to be handled.
BUILDING AND INSTALLING
Full instructions:
See doc/html/building.html
Quick instructions:
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install
For SunOS and AIX have a look at README.SunOS and README.AIX.

It is possible to build many components with a relatively newer version of cmake.
For example on Windows,
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DHAVE_SSL=ON -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="install-path" -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="path to openssl" ..
Then build in Visual Studio or on command prompt.
On Linux (with system openssl),
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DHAVE_SSL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="install-path" ..
make -j 4 install
If one has Ninja then (with system openssl),
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DHAVE_SSL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="install-path" ..
ninja install
