TinyOS Installation Instructions for Cygwin

Installation requires the 6 steps described in the manual provided by tinyos.net. In this case, “Step 2: Install Cygwin,” is required. The following complimentary instructions should simplify the process:

• It is recommended that all installations in steps 3 to 6 be done under the “opt” directory, as this assumed in the “TOSROOT” environment variable.
• Instead of setting up the environment variables using the “Step 5” instructions, refer to the “Java Cygwin” directions at http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Java_cygwin.
  • The environment variables may be set simply by copying the example modifications into the etc/profile.d/tinyos.sh file.
• Again, the first TinyOS tutorial can be used to verify the process is complete.
