Contributed C++ Packages
Pre-built Linux Packages
Fedora 8, 9, 10
On Fedora, Qpid can be installed using yum. Because Java RPMs are not yet available in Fedora repos, the Java client is not in these distributions.
To install the server:
# yum install qpidd
To install C++ and Python clients:
# yum install qpidc-devel
# yum install amqp python-qpid
To install documentation:
# yum install rhm-docs
To install persistence using an external store module:
# yum install rhm
Windows Installer
The Windows installer is available from http://www.apache.org/dist/qpid/0.5-windows/qpidc-0.5.msi. It is built from the 0.5 C++ broker and client source distribution listed above. It has been tested for Windows XP SP2 and above.
The Windows executables require the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 run-time components. If the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 runtime is not available, the Qpid broker will not execute. If you intend to run the broker and Visual C++ 2008 is not installed, you must install the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable. Please see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en for download and installation instructions.
If you intend to develop Qpid client applications using this kit, you should install Boost version 1.35 (please be sure to select VC9 support when installing) in addition to Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
Source Code Repository
The latest version of the code is always available in the Source Repository.
