[Tinyos-help] how to use the nesC compiler

Fri Sep 8 03:52:05 PDT 2006

I suggest you try to install the sofware included in the CD with the motes. If you don't have the CD, perhaps you could get the software from www.xbow.com

If you can't get the software from xbow, you can also try with software for other motes that might work also with yours. You could try with the sofware from moteiv (Boomerang), available in http://www.moteiv.com/download.php The instructions at moteiv webpage (www.moteiv.com) refer to moteiv motes (tmotes), but I guess it could also work with mica (once you have everything installed, to build an application write 'make mica2' instead of 'make tmote'). Anyway, if your using mica2, the software from xbow should set up your system without any problem, so that should be the first thing to try.

 as you said i went through the install file given in nesc-1.2.7a/install. this is what is given in that file

 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  To build nesC: in this directory
 ./configure [--prefix=<where you want to install nesc]
 make
 To install:
 make install
 To install a nesC editor mode (currently, emacs, vim, kde):Read <installdir>/lib/ncc/editor-modes/<your-editor-name>/readme.txt
 To use nesC with TinyOS, you need to install the ncc, mig, etc TinyOS frontends for nesC. These are found in tinyos-1.x/tools/src/ncc (for TinyOS 1.x) and in tinyos-2.x/tools (for TinyOS  2.x). Please follow the installation directions you find there.
 To use nesC with the Atmel AVR processors or the TI MSP processors you
 need the avr-gcc and msp430-gcc packages, as well as patched versions
 of the GNU binutils (avr-binutils and msp430-bintutils respectively).
 These packages can be obtained from http://www.tinyos.net/dist-2.0.0 
 (also check http://www.tinyos.net/download.html to see if newer versions
 are available).

its said that "tinyos-1.x/tools/src/ncc (for TinyOS 1.x) " in this path i would be able to find ncc but there is no mention of it. i found ncc in the path "\tinyos\cygwin\usr\local\lib" but with no installation guide. could you get me any help regarding this....

In order to do that, you should read the file INSTALL, included in that file (tar.gz is a compressed file, you can decompress it with 7zip [1]). You must know that in order to use nesc you must run linux (or windows+cygwin). If you are using windows, perhaps it would be better to install the software from the vendor of your motes (moteiv, xbow, etc.), which will include cygwin and all the other necessary tools (nesc, etc.).
