QpidComponents.org

QpidComponents.org provides further components for Apache Qpid, including both persistence and management tools. These components are open source, but are not developed as part of the Apache Qpid project due to licensing or other restrictions.

Contributed C++ Packages

Pre-built Linux Packages

Fedora

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.
