libzmq >= 4.1.4 difficult to install
TeXitoi opened this issue · 12 comments
Since some days, libzmq 4.1.4 is required. This version is only on debian experimental, which make it complicated to install.
@TeXitoi what distribution are you on? for trusty this was indeed a pain so i opted to backport it and stick the dependencies in a ppa: https://github.com/kevinkreiser/prime_server#grab-some-deps
debian stable
ok i'll see what i can do. i dont know much about how the process differs for debian, but i am certain we can make debian packages somehow. in the mean time i will say its incredibly easy to install these from source, every single one of them is something like:
cd src_directory
./autogen.sh #only on some of them
./configure #zmq needs the libsodium flag passed
sudo make install
OK, I'll add it to my build script : https://github.com/TeXitoi/valhalla-compile/
sweet, i can pr that if you like!
I'm doing it. I must check that I can still have zmq from the distrib at the same time to not interfere with my navitia build.
ok no problem, let me know if you encounter issues
OK, thanks
https://github.com/zeromq/czmq is also needed?
yes, it has support for zbeacon which is a service discovery module. quite useful for automatic configuration (future feature of prime_server)

Seems to work. Didn't use libsodium as it is not in trusty (for travis). No problem so far, and as I don't use https for the moment, I suspect I don't need libsodium.
that is correct. libsodium is not needed. the default packages in xenial had support for it enabled so i just kept it there as it was less work for me when back porting (was able to use the same source tarball). thanks for working through this on your end!
