POSIX Platforms
On POSIX platforms, libxs uses the standard autotools build system.
To build and install the library, ensure your system has a C++ compiler
installed, and proceed with the following steps:
- Run ./configure, then make to build the library.
- Optionally, run make check to run the built in test suite.
- Run make install as root.
- On Linux or other platforms which use ld.so for dynamic linking, run ldconfig or equivalent as root to update your systems shared library cache.
Windows Platforms
- Building on Windows requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 or newer.
- Unpack the .zip source archive.
- In Visual C++, open the solution builds\msvc\msvc10.sln.
- Build the solution.
- DLL files will be built in the bin subdirectory, LIB and EXP files will be built in the lib subdirectory.
Language Bindings

ZeroMQ Compatibility
Crossroads I/O provides a drop-in libzmq compatibility library for ZeroMQ language bindings and applications.
To enable libzmq compatibility on POSIX platforms, you must build your copy of libxs with the —enable-libzmq option to configure.
CAUTION: Enabling this option will overwrite any existing installation of libzmq on your system.
To enable libzmq compatibility on Windows platforms, build the libzmq project from the builds\msvc\msvc10.sln solution.
