To build, run:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=usr -DBUILD_TESTING=On ..

sudo make install

Implementation of core protocols (assets, metrics, alerts messages) for 42ity project.

It defines three types of main messages/objects on the system

• metrics
• assets
• alerts

You need libzmq and czmq prior to building fty-proto.

Zeromq community maintain packages network:zeromq for a lot of Linux distributions. Check if your system is supported and install devel packagage of czmq (libczmq-dev, czmq-devel).

Here's how to build CZMQ from GitHub (building from packages is very similar, you don't clone a repo but unpack a tarball), including the libzmq (ZeroMQ core) library (NOTE: skip ldconfig on OSX):

git clone git://github.com/zeromq/libzmq.git
cd libzmq
./autogen.sh
# do not specify "--with-libsodium" if you prefer to use internal tweetnacl security implementation (recommended for development)
./configure --with-libsodium
make check
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ..

git clone git://github.com/zeromq/czmq.git
cd czmq
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make check
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ..

Then build fty-proto itself

git clone git://github.com/42ity/fty-proto.git
cd fty-proto
cmake -B build && cd build
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ..

See fty_proto.h for API.

fty-proto is developed through a test-driven process that guarantees no memory violations or leaks in the code:

• Modify a class or method.
• Update the test method for that class.
• Run the 'selftest' script, which uses the Valgrind memcheck tool.
• Repeat until perfect.

Always ask - can I make it simpler?

Add this block in the project.xml file :

    <use project = "fty-proto" libname = "libfty_proto" header = "fty_proto.h" prefix = "fty_proto"
        min_major = "1"
        repository = "https://github.com/42ity/fty-proto.git" />

Make your target depends on fty_proto.
