I am trying to use the ZeroMQ library in an iPhone application developed in C # using MonoTouch. I solved almost all the problems, but fell at the last hurdle. I am using ZeroMQ 2.1.10 and the C # CLR binding / shell and developing on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Here is the story:
At first I tried using ZeroMq in a simple Mono C # Console application. I built ZeroMQ with ./configure, then makeand sudo make install, which installs a shared library /usr/local/lib/libzmq.dylib. Linking to ZeroMq C # clrzmq.dllis a wrapper that uses the core functionality of ZeroMq through C Api calls [DllImport].
The test application does not work, and I realized that standard ZeroMQ ./configureproduces 64-bit output, and Mono only 32 bits. Then I restored ZeroMQ with
./configure CFLAGS="-O -arch i386" CXXFLAGS="-O -arch i386" LDFLAGS="-arch i386" --disable-dependency-tracking
A simple C # ZeroMq application worked correctly.
Moving on, I then tried to use ZeroMq from the iPhone application in the iPhone simulator. I found that iPhone only supports statically linked libraries (dynamic libraries are not allowed). This is achieved by changing all C # shell calls to
[DllImport("__Internal", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
and including libzmq.adirectly in the MonoTouch project and setting additional arguments mtouch
-cxx -gcc_flags "-L${ProjectDir} -lzmq -force_load ${ProjectDir}/libzmq.a"
to ensure that the ZeroMQ library is included in the iPhone app.
