The client is C++, and needs a qpid-proton build to be present. It is built with cmake as follows: 1. Extract tar file 2. Create a build directory: $cd artemis-reproducer $mkdir build 3. Run cmake, point config to qpid-proton build $cd build $cmake .. The default expected location for qpid-proton is ~/qpid-proton. If it is not in this location, then: $ccmake .. (In screen that shows, set PROTON_DIR to the correct path to the qpid-proton directory) Use keys c to configure, e to exit config message, then g to generate. 4. Build the examples $make 5. Start broker, then run examples: $./src/simple_send $./src/simple_recv
