How to install for windows os ? Thanks

[taotetek]

@toplinuxsir That's a good question. I don't use windows myself and have never tried. You will need zeromq ( http://zeromq.org/ ) and czmq ( http://czmq.zeromq.org/page:get-the-software ) libraries on windows.

I'll see if I can find someone who is using the library on windows and try to get the documentation updated for it.

Any answer on this ? Just hit same need

Here is some little help for using goczmq in windows

• Use vcpkg to install czmq
• Set environment variable CGO_CFLAGS to include vcpkg include dir
• Set environment variable CGO_LDFLAGS to include vcpkg library dir
• When deploying executable just copy dependent libraries to the same dir "xxx.exe lies.

Example: If vcpkg installed in D:\DEV\vcpkg and you are writing x64 program.

Steps to go in command line prompt:

• vcpkg install --triplet=x64-windows czmq
• set CGO_CFLAGS=-ID:\DEV\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\include
• set CGO_LDFLAGS=-LD:\DEV\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib -D:\DEV\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\bin
• build your program e.g.go build -a -v
• copy dependent libraries xxx.dll to your working directory.

P.S.can use tools like Dependencies to find out which library to copy.
