[rabbitmq-discuss] Building a recent rabbitmq-c with 0-8 protocol

[David Wragg]

Hi Pieter,

Glad to hear from your other email that your were able to solve the
problem.

But just to avoid confusion for the record:

There's no "out of the box" way to get the current librabbitmq with 0-8
support.

You can build the last version of librabbitmq that supported 0-8 by
doing:

$ hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-c/
$ hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-codegen/
$ cd rabbitmq-c
$ hg update -C amqp_0_8
$ autoreconf -i && ./configure && make

But you will find that there are small API differences between that and
the current librabbitmq.

As I suggested in my previous email, refitting the current librabbitmq
with 0-8 support looks reasonably straightforward, but it would involve
rolling your sleeves up and editing the code.
