Hi All I'm wondering if anybody else has had problems upgrading from TinyOS 1.1.15 - and I can't find any recent suggestions on this topic in the archives. I've been running with the latest cygwin based environment from the pre-2.0 and which has been stable for the last 2+ years.
I have a well beaten up windows workstation XP PROF with the latest updates and a laptop with Vista Business .. I followed the Cygwin Tutorial instructions on upgrading http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-2.x/doc/html/upgrade-tinyos.html - when it came to install the tinyos-tools-1.2.4-2.cygwin.i386.rpm I got Giveio-install.exe complaining about "entry point_getreent could not be located in the dll cygwin1.dll" . I reinstalled the reference cygwin a couple of times and couldn't get past this - something really wrong in my setup that the install isn't fixing. So then I attempted a clean install of the reference tools - renaming my old c:\tinyos\cygwin and letting it build c:\tinyos\cygwin\... tool chain. So now I have TinyOs 2.0 tools. On adding my TinyOs tree (1.1.15) and knitting it into the tools it then started to compile my tree, hurrah .. but ended up with Nesc1.exe - Entry Point Not Found " The procedure entry point basename could not be located in the dll cygwn1.dll By this time - I'd taken at least 8 hours to get here. So is anybody using the Cygwin tools as per the tutorial.? Any suggestions as to where I should start. Is this supported under windows Vista. I tried to put an environment on my Vista portable a couple of months ago, and Cygwin didn't want to run on it from what I remember. So I tried the UbunTos route - thanks for Kevin Klueska 's good instructions and setting up the basic model - and after another 4 hours managed to get 2.0 App Blink to compile - Vmware/XP Prof and VmPlayer/Vista Business- but the environment isn't connected in with Windows - and I'm going to have trouble with the Windows tool chain - so I'm not seeing this as a viable option. So know I've downgraded my XP workstation (switched out my directories) back to the one where I rebuilt to the recommended Cygwin - and been running this for a week. Whats interesting is that it fails after about 20 compiles - kaput, does something weird, and requires a windows reboot. This has happened about 5 times in the last week . So the recommended Cygwin environment supplied is slightly different and less stable than the environment derived from following the Tinyos 1.1.15 upgrade path.
