[Tinyos-help] Install TinyOS Tools without Root Access

[tr76 at cornell.edu]

Hi,
      Thank you for your message; I was able to get the jar file working. I am wondering if anyone has experience manually setting up the getenv JNI library manually for TinyOS 2.x, as in the scenario described. I tried adding the file in /support/sdk/java/tinyos/net/tinyos/comm to the path but this does not seem to work, I still get the error:
getenv JNI library not found. Env.getenv will not work
(run the tos-install-jni tool, see man tos-install-jni for more details)

Thanks,
Tal

If you have file create permission problems try putting everything
in your own home directory where you can chmod 666 everything.
If you have a working system someplace else you should be able to
just copy the jar files (or create them there), and not build the
whole thing on your new system.

You will also need to install the java native libraries used by TOS:
getenv and javacomm of some kind. I don't know where they are on T2
but some of it used to be under tinyos-1.x/tools/java/jni

I am wondering how it is possible to run the java tools on such a system. I am able to compile or run Java files. I tried to install the tinyos-2.x/tools folder from source as explained in the readme, but there were permissions errors at the make install step.
