Hi Phil To repeat - Cygwin does not support Windows Vista at this time - when I tried it, as I didn't know that I shouldn't, it failed :). Of course in the usual course of things, it takes some time to figure out where the issue is - is it just my machine or as in this case it just ain't supported.
I just tried to get into the docs.tinyos.net - it worked and I've made an update there. There are two parallel sets of almost the same information all of them hosted under tinyos.net - so managed to add an update to the docs.tinyos.net, but not at the actual point it will be used - cause it ain't in the Wiki yet. Do you know anybody who has managed (or documented) getting a pure 'C' file out of the nesC compile that can then be fed into the WinAvr/AvrStudio tool chain. I can't find a discussion on the tools - or at least the tools working group is a "Fort Knox" closed discussion group :) I believe both compilers are based on gcc - though the WinAvr avr-cpp reports 4.2.2 and nescC reports 3.4.4 - so its not clear to me why app.c can't be processed by WinAvr through AvrStudio. (except of course its probably staring me in the face, and I just can't see it) It would be so nice to be able to have an open discussion about it and for the community to be able to understand what the issues are. I did massage and grind away at app.c to remove all its inconsistencies, but then avr-cpp barfed with a compiler error, so submitted it to the WinAVR bug list. Much obliged for any pointers Cheers Neil -----Original Message----- From: Philip Levis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:47 PM To: Neil Hancock Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tinyos-help] RE: TinyOS 2.0 upgrade & AVR studio integration On Apr 3, 2008, at 9:04 PM, Neil Hancock wrote: > Hi All > Just an update note in case anybody else has trouble upgrading to T2 > (I > suppose it's the T1 dinosaurs finding evolution has problems - > starting from > scratch is easier). > > I took a clean machine and built the tools from scratch and then > UPGRADED > cygwin to the latest and it worked.

Hm, that is frustrating. Technically, 2.0.2 doesn't support Vista; at the time, that didn't seem *too* unreasonable, but it's quite a bit later now, and with Microsoft's intention to phase out XP, it's definitely not OK. > > > I've looked for a way to push some notes into the Wiki on this, but > doesn't > seem to be open to that. > The Wiki should be open. Can you comment on what prevented you from adding information? If that's the case, it's completely against the idea of the wiki! > Some information from investigations > CYGWIN doesn't support Vista - with a fair number of cygwin users > talking > about lack of support. Wait -- did you get it working on Vista or not?
