Context creation hangs

[tarunprakash]

I am trying to run a simple Hello World test that pushes a message to the client, but it is getting stuck. Below is my code:

#property strict

#include <Zmq/Zmq.mqh>

void OnInit() {
   Print("Server has started");
   Context context("helloworld");
   Socket pushSocket(context,ZMQ_PUSH);
   pushSocket.bind("tcp://*:5555");
   Print("Server is ready");

   Print("Sending message to client…");
   ZmqMsg message("Hello world");
   pushSocket.send(message, true);
   Print("Message sent");
}

void OnDeinit(const int reason) {
   Print("Server has finished");
}

I've narrowed it down, and it seems to be hanging on this line: Context context("helloworld");

I am running this as a script on MT4 on MacOS, and I have tried running it with both the precompiled MT4 DLLs and also the VC2010 DLLs.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Some more details:

• I tried running the same script on a windows machine with the precompiled DLLs and VS 2015 c++ runtime, and it worked no issues
• Creating ZMQ context works in python on m1 MacOS machine
• There are no errors when I run the script on m1 MacOS (it just hangs), which tells me it may not a problem with importing the DLLs or runtime (there was an error on the windows machine when I had no runtime)

I am stumped, this is driving me crazy!!

Let me know if you have any idea why this might he happening, anything helps

It has been reported that the DLLs does not work on m1 mac. I don't have access to an m1 mac, so it won't be solved in the near future.
