This software distribution is part of the S-Net software suite on Github. It requires a working installation of LPEL according to the How to Build Guide.

To generate the configure script and related build-tools, run

    ./bootstrap

This requires the availability of the GNU system tools autoconf, automake and libtool.

Look for the most relevant configuration options in the output of:

    ./configure --help=short

Then generate a Makefile with at least the following options:

    ./configure --with-lpel-includes=$LPEL_PREFIX/include \
                --with-lpel-libs=$LPEL_PREFIX/lib \
                --prefix=$SNET_PREFIX

where $LPEL_PREFIX points to the directory prefix of the LPEL installation and $SNET_PREFIX is your desired S-Net destination prefix.

Build and install the software with

    make
    make install

To compile S-Net applications the snetc compiler is required. The latest releases are in the releases repository on Github.

S-Net comes with a choice of runtime system flavors and threading layers. The streams runtime system offers a choice between three threading layers: pthread, lpel and lpel_hrc. A new runtime system front was designed for high-performance computing, fine-grained concurrency and highly-dynamic S-Net networks.

A number of example applications are located in the directory examples. They are compiled and run by the script examples/testperf.sh:

   cd examples
   ./testperf.sh

Complete documentation on the S-Net coordination language and the use of the S-Net API in applications is available in the S-Net Language Report which can be found on the S-Net documentation page.
