[Tinyos-help] TinyOS on MacOSX (Intel)

[Vinayak Naik]

It worked :-) I successfully compiled and installed Blink on a tmote using a
Mac OS X 10.4.6 (PPC) powerbook.

Couple of minor comments for the help page created by Prof Welsh:
+ Need to install ncc after nesc
cd $tools/src/ncc;
./Bootstrap && DEFAULT_TARGET=telos ./configure && make && sudo make install
+ I received an error while compiling msp toolchain from
tinyos-1.xdirectory. I changed to "tools/src/mspgcc" directory and
then did the
compilation.
+ Here are bare minimum environment variables, which need to be set
export MSPGCCROOT=/opt/msp430
export TOSROOT=$HOME/Documents/tinyos-1.x
export TOSDIR=$TOSROOT/tos
export MAKERULES=$TOSROOT/tools/make/Makerules
export PATH="$MSPGCCROOT/bin:$PATH"

Thank you all for the help,

- Vinayak
