MessagePack is an efficient binary serialisation format that lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. msgpack-c is a C and C++ implementation of MessagePack. Note: this is the lastest version of msgpack including both C and C++ implementations. Later versions have separate implementations for these languages. This slackbuild is maintained for compatibility with some slackbuilds which require msgpack-c. If you want install a newer version (>=6.0.0) please refer to following packages: - msgpack-c-cpp for only C++ implementation - msgpack-c-c for only C implementation (both packages can coexist)
