# Automotive Message Broker Daemon {#ambd}

Version 0.15

## Introduction

cd automotive-message-broker

cd build
cmake ..
make
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

## Configuration

For information on ambd's configuration, please see ambd-configuration.idl.

## Running with the Qt mainloop:

Some source and sink plugins may want to use the Qt-based mainloop to take advantage of Qt features. To enable
the Qt mainloop, run cmake with -Duse_qtcore=On:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.bash}
cmake .. -Dqtmainloop=On
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will also need to edit your config to enable the Qt-based mainloop:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.json}
{
	"mainloop" : "/PLUGIN_INSTALL_PATH/qtmainloopplugin.so",
	"plugins" : "/etc/ambd/plugins.d"
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE: by default the glib mainloop will be used.
