PeerStreamer for Community Networks

This is the official Repository for the developments made on the PeerStreamer platform for the netCommons research project.

Requirements

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (it should work on any Linux distribution with proper developing tools installed).

Streamers requires the following libraries for in order to compile:

• [GRAPES] (https://github.com/netCommonsEU/PeerStreamer-grapes)
• [NAPA] (https://github.com/netCommonsEU/PeerStreamer-napa-baselibs)
• [libevent2] (http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/)

Build

We recommend using the [PeerStreamer build system] (https://github.com/netCommonsEU/PeerStreamer-build).

Manual build

Assuming $GRAPES is the full path to the root directory of the compiled GRAPES libraries, $NAPA is the full path to the root directory of the compiled NAPA libraries and $LIBEV is the full path to the root directory of the compiled libevent library, then you can execute the following two commands:

./configure --with-grapes=$GRAPES --with-napa=$NAPA --with-libevent=$LIBEV --with-net-helper=ml --with-static=2
make

Use --with-static=0 if you want to compile a dynamically linked version of the streamer.

Installation

The executable can be found in the PeerStreamer root directory at the end of the build process. Its name is streamer-ml-grapes-static in case of statically linked executable of streamer-ml-grapes, otherwise. For installing the streamer, move the executable in one of the directoris in your $PATH.

Usage

Work in progress.
