The failing 'use.test' property comes from autoconf's use of calling a method to test whether a library exists or not. You can see in zproject/zproject_known_projects.xml how we define this for the projects we support by default.
For your main question, I'd start with some test code (outside a project, just for learning) that uses a ZMQ_STREAM socket to talk to your server. When this is working, you can wrap that in an actor that also uses a pipe to talk to the outside world. Then it uses a zpoller to work with these two sockets at once. There is not a lot of documentation on stream sockets, so I'd use the test cases (libzmq/tests/*stream*.cpp) as a starting point. Also the zmq_socket man page. -Pieter On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 12:19 PM, Greg Young <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been playing with czmq/zactor/zproject/etc the last few days > and have decided to do a small project to learn a bit more.
