I googled and found zmq windows binary is available on github

* https://github.com/ulala-x/libzmq-native/releases

untested, please scan for virus before use.

zmq is required for the new Jd server support.

The failure you see should have been more graceful.

If you want to work with the new server support you will have to install zmq. As Bill points out you should do so with care.

If you don't want to use the new server stuff, let me know and there is a simple workaround that will let you continue to use Jd.

Perhaps a better option than the download suggested by Lam is to use the libzmq.dll used by other languages.

The following has not been tested and might need tweaks. But installing known zmq from widely used systems like python or node makes sense.

If you python installed:

> python3 -m pip install pyzmq

Or node:

> npm install zeromq

Let me know what you fnd. And I will improve the Jd install/requirements info.

Bill (zmq)

Or perhaps better yet, do it with vcpkg:

> vcpkg install libzmq

Hi Eric

Can you please provide the simple workarornd.

I will also try the Bill Lam suggestion and the other suggestions to check out the server support .

 

Thanks

Edit ..../data/jd/jd.ijs to not do the require of jcs.ijs:

NB. require'~addons/net/jcs/jcs.ijs' NB. workaround missing zmq

***

I think the best way to install zmq is with the MS approved vcpkg.
