Hi,
Sometimes it would be useful to keep multiple versions of TinyOS on the
disk. For example, before releasing any contribution, it makes sense to
check wether it works with both 0.6, 0.6.1, and the CVS-latest, etc.
Also it would be nice to switch between them easily - and safely. :)
The solution I am using now is that I have separate directories for each of
them:
D:\>dir nest.*
Directory of D:\
07/30/2002 01:01p <DIR> nest.cvs - CVS latest
07/15/2002 01:14p <DIR> nest.061 - 0.6.1
07/30/2002 12:11a <DIR> nest.vss - an MS VSS rep.,
based on 0.6
D:\>
.. and then switch between them with the command prompt (DOS, not cygwin)
REN command:
D:\>ren nest.061 nest
This way the environment vars (PATH, CLASSPATH, etc.) do not have to be
changed and can not cause weird behavior (like linking against old versions,
etc.).
This is similar to the Linux kernel-like symlinking, but with symlinks I
would be closed inside cygwin, and I want to use native Windows apps also
(VSS, Visual Studio).
Hmm, does anybody have a nicer solution? :)
