ZeroMQ / ØMQ / 0MQ how to get started?

Question

I am trying to use ZeroMQ / ØMQ / 0MQ (which ever you prefer) on Windows using C# Binding. Is there any beginner materials out there? Do I need to register ZeroMQ DLL on Windows or something in order to run the C# Binding samples (local_lat / remote_lat)?

Updated: After a few hours I've got zeromq / ruby working on Ubuntu 10.04. I've left a comment on this blog post indicating how to get zeromq / ruby installed on Ubuntu 10.04. But I am still trying to figure out how to run a simple sample on Windows / C# .NET.

install rvm on ubuntu 10.04

if you get error after zeromq is installed, try this one to update the library

Answer 1

A new version of the ZeroMQ CLR binding is available at clrzmq2

The reason for the new binding is that it is not backwards compatible with the first, but it is more idiomatic C#, and it supports the full feature set of 2.0.9.

It is also cross platform and should run on both Windows and Linux, x86/-64.

A lot of the examples from the 0MQ guide are now ported to C#, should be up to chapter 3 within the next day or so.

If something isn't working raise an issue on github or contact the ZeroMQ dev mailing list.

Answer 2

I just started to play with 0MQ on my machine. I uploaded the simple server/client with pre-compiled libraries (clrzmq and zmq-2.0.9 from github) to bitbucket. I hope this helps you also to get started with 0MQ on Windows.

EDIT: A lot has happend since this question and answer. Now it is way easier to install and use ZeroMQ.
