The sample C-client program files include the following:
Table 1–3 Basic C-Client Sample Program Files
Sample Program |
Description |
---|---|
Producer.c |
Illustrates how you send a message |
Consumer.c |
Illustrates how you receive a message synchronously |
ProducerAsyncConsumer.c |
Illustrates how you send a message and receive it asynchronously |
RequestReply.c |
Illustrates how you send and respond to a message that specifies a reply-to destination |
Table 1–4 lists the location of the sample programs on each platform.

The following commands illustrate the process of building and linking the sample application Producer.c on the Solaris, Linux, and Windows platforms. The commands include the pre-processor definitions needed to support Message Queue C-API fixed-size integer types. For options used to support multithreading, please consult documentation for your compiler.
CC -compat=5 -mt -DSOLARIS -I/opt/SUNWimq/include -o Producer \\ -L/opt/SUNWimq/lib -lmqcrt Producer.c
For Solaris OS, if you need 64-bit support, you need to specify the following compiler options:
SPARC: -xarch=v9 and -L/opt/SUNWimq/lib/sparcv9
x86: -xarch=amd649 and -L/opt/SUNWimq/lib/amd64
. For example, to compile and link the example application on Solaris/SPARC, you would use the following command:
CC -compat=5 -mt -xarch=v9 -DSOLARIS -I/opt/SUNWimq/include -o Producer \\ L/opt/SUNWimq/lib/sparcv9 -lmqcrt Producer.c
g++ -DLINUX -D_REENTRANT -I/opt/sun/mq/include -o Producer \\ -L/opt/sun/mq/lib -lmqcrt Producer.c
cl /c /MD -DWIN32 -I%IMQ_HOME%\include Producer.c
link Producer.obj /NODEFAULTLIB msvcrt.lib \\ /LIBPATH:%IMQ_HOME%\lib mqcrt.lib
Before you run any sample programs, you should start the broker. You can display output describing the command-line options for each program by starting the program with the -help option.
For example, the following command, runs the program Producer. It specifies that the program should connect to the broker running on the host MyHost and port 8585, and that it should send a message to the destination My Topic :
Producer -h MyHost -p 8585 -d MyTopic
The directories that contain the sample programs also include a README file that explains how you should run their respective samples.
