This page is used to collect misc. user notes on using TinyOS under Cygwin. The organization is adhoc. Currently, topics are listed as sections.

Beware of <cr><lf> vs. <lf> line terminators

Some windows editors will use <cr><lf> instead of <lf> to terminate lines. Unix programs brought over under Cygwin can get confused by this. We have definitely seen this messing up environment settings.


Environment variables under Cygwin

Sometimes when using TinyOS under Cygwin there are problems with the environment variables being recognized. One proposed solution is to place the file /etc/profile.d/tinyos-2.x.sh. ie:

cat /etc/profile.d/tinyos-2.x.sh export MAKERULES=`cygpath -w $TOSROOT/support/make/Makerules` export MAKERULES="$MAKERULES:."

<Can someone verify that this works?>
