There are multiple -participants in the chat, both sending and reading messages. The sending -application 'prompt' is separated from the application displaying the chat -'display' so that there's no need for sophisticated GUI. - -To run the example you'll need both applications plus the 'forwarder' device -that will play role of messaging server (chatroom). Build it this way: - -$ ./autogen.sh -$ ./configure --with-chat --with-forwarder -$ make -$ sudo make install - -Once it is built create the configuration file (say config.xml) for the -forwarder describing which network endpoints are to be used for incoming and -outgoing messages: - -<forwarder> - <in> - <bind addr = "tcp://eth0:5555"/> - </in> - <out> - <bind addr = "tcp://eth0:5556"/> - </out> -</forwarder> - -You are of course free to define mutliple endpoints for either incoming or -outgoing messages. - -Now start the forwarder: - -$ zmq_forwarder ./config.xml - -At this point the messaging server is ready to accept connections from -messaging clients. When starting the sending application, specify your name -so that messages can be attributed to you: - -$ ./prompt tcp://myserver:5555 "John Doe" - -$ ./display tcp://myserver:5556 - |
