+This program requires the librabbitmq and libmysqlclient libraries.
+
+librabbitmq-c - https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c
+MariaDB Client Library for C 2.0 Series - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/client-libraries/client-library-for-c/ 
+
+Building with CMake:
+'cmake .'
+
+Variables to pass for CMake:
+
+Path to headers		-DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=<path to headers>
+Path to libraries	-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to libraries>
+Install prefix		-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix>
+
+
+Separate multiple folders with colons, for example:
+'path1:path2:path3'
+
+After running CMake run 'make' to build the binaries and 'make package' to build RPMs.
+
+To build without CMake, use the provided makefile and update the
+include and library directories 'in buildvars.inc'
+
+The configuration for the consumer client are red from 'consumer.cnf'.
+
+Options for the configuration file:
+
+hostname	Hostname of the RabbitMQ server
+port		Port of the RabbitMQ server
+vhost		Virtual host location of the RabbitMQ server
+user		Username for the RabbitMQ server
+passwd		Password for the RabbitMQ server
+queue		Queue to consume from
+dbserver	Hostname of the SQL server
+dbport		Port of the SQL server
+dbname		Name of the SQL database to use
+dbuser		Database username
+dbpasswd	Database passwork
+logfile		Message log filename
