[Tinyos-help] cleaner and fast way of tiny os setup in windows + cygwin

[Michael Schippling]

All this should not be so danged hard, but that's the way things get...

I threw in the towel on using automated scripts and helpful installs.
Instead I put everything explicitly in my .bashrc file so I can change
it when needed...this is especially useful in you use multiple versions
of Java and TOS... I'm using T1 so some of this may be different for the
modern user, and I also made a jar file out of the TOS java tools (which
I think is the default in T2 anyway) but I include the class tree as well.

Here's the relevant portions (again note there may be T2 variations)
note that backslashes '\' are used to continue lines for readability.
You can also include all the old cra...err...settings by adding $PATH or
$CLASSPATH to the end of the relevant export:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
###
### Java stuff -- select a  JDK here
###  note: I have installed all my Java SDKs in C:/JAVA
###   and that CLASSPATHs need to have native, not cygwin, syntax
###
#JV="j2sdk1.3.1_10"
#JV="j2sdk1.4.2_04"
JV="jdk1.5.0_07"

# used by CLASSPATH so you don't have to keep editing things
JAVA_ROOT=C:/JAVA
# used by PATH so you don't have to keep editing things
JAVA_DIR=/cygdrive/c

###
### TinyOS stuff -- select TOS version directory to use here
###
#TV="tinyos-1.1.7"
#TV="tinyos-1.1.10"
#TV="tinyos-1.1.14"
TV="tinyos-1.x"

# used by TOS build system to find files
#  TOSROOT is for external programs and must have Windows syntax,
#  TOSDIR is used in makefiles and must have cygwin syntax
export TOSROOT=C:/cygwin/opt/$TV
export TOSDIR=/opt/$TV/tos
export MAKERULES=/opt/$TV/tools/make/Makerules

## for the mote Listen program and it's ilk
##  set to your COM port of interest
#export MOTECOM="serial at COM3:mica2"
export MOTECOM="serial at COM16:tmote"

## for serial port programmer, your syntax may vary...
export MIB510=COM3
#export MIB510=/dev/ttyS2

###
###  CLASSPATH for TOS and others
###    Many programs and packages add a huge number of extraneous jars...
###    I have just included the absolute basic TOS stuff: class tree and jar,
###     and just one example of an extra Java package:
###     the JMF I installed under C:/JAVA
###
export CLASSPATH="\
.;\
$TOSROOT/tools/java;\
$TOSROOT/tools/java/jars/tinytools.jar;\
$JAVA_ROOT/JMF2.1.1e/lib/jmf.jar"

###
### improve upon the execution PATH
###  gotta be careful here as many programs make addenda to the
###   PATH at will when they are installed, this is just the basics.
###  note: the REAL Java SDK needs to come before Win32
###
export PATH="\
/usr/local/bin:\
/usr/bin:\
/bin:\
$JAVA_DIR/$JV/bin:\
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:\
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:\
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:\
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/GRAPHICS/GraphViz/bin:\
/opt/msp430/bin:\
/usr/avr/bin:\
."

Hope this helps and that I haven't left something out while trying to simplify.
