Making ZeroMQ jar for Mac was one of the most painful tasks I have done. And here is my attempt to save effort of others for the same task.
STEP 1
Get latest version of zmq for POSIX systems from http://www.zeromq.org/intro:get-the-software
Say the file you got is zeromq-2.1.7.tar.gz., place this in your home directory( not required, any directory is fine as an example I am taking home directory).
Unzip the file and you will get a directory zeromq-2.1.7
Then run following commands:
1 cd ~/zeromq-2.1.7
2 ./autogen.sh
3 ./configure
4 make
5 sudo make install
STEP 2
Now before we proceed you should get pkg-config, if you already have, then ignore this step.
Get pkg-config from http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.22.tar.gz
Unzip this in home directory and pkg-config-0.22 will be created.
Run the following commands:
1 cd ~/pkg-config-0.22
2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pkg-config-0.22 --datarootdir=/usr/share
3 make
4 sudo make install
5 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pkg-config-0.22/bin
STEP 3
Now download java jzmq from https://github.com/zeromq/jzmq and place it in folder ~/jzmq (not necessary, i am taking it for cake of example)
Run the following
1 cd ~/jzmq
2 export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
3 ./autogen.sh
4 ./configure
5 make
6 sudo make install
This will make zmq.jar in /usr/local/share/java/
Problems you might face:
While running ./autogen.sh
* autogen.sh: error: could not find pkg-config. pkg-config is required to run autogen.sh
-- you should complete STEP 2
While running ./configure
* ./configure: line 15180: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./configure: line 15180: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES('
--you missed STEP 2.2
* configure: error: cannot link with -lzmq
-- this happens when you forget to do STEP1.4,1.5
* configure: error: the JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to your JDK location
-- repeat STEP 3.2
