Installation notes under RedHat/CentOS These are just my notes from having installed on a CentOS server. They definitely need to be expanded and explained better but should make a good starting point for getting amqptools working. 1. Install additional packages: => python-simplejson => libtool => autoconf => automake => gcc 2. Download and compile supporting code: git clone git://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c.git cd rabbitmq-c git submodule init git submodule update autoreconf -i ./configure make No need to actually install the supporting packages; the compiled packages just need to be available for amqptools. 3. Compile amqptools: cd amqptools make AMQPTOOLS_RABBITHOME=../rabbitmq-c This assumes the rabbitmq-c` path is parallel to the amqptools directory: parent/ ├── amqptools/ ├── rabbitmq-c/ └── rabbitmq-codegen/
