Compile on Windows with Cygwin

bradjc commented 11 years ago

Is there a trick to getting nesC to compile with Cygwin? When I try I first get errors in the create AST files step:

This then causes bad files to be generated. For instance AST_types.h contains:

typedef enum {
  kind_error_decl = nil,
  postkind_error_decl = nil,
  kind_attribute_ref = nil,
  postkind_attribute_ref = nil,
  kind_enum_ref = nil,
...

I haven't been able to find what is different between these steps on Linux and Cygwin. Compiling nescc from source is relevant because it seems the way msp430-gcc handles flags changed, but so did the way nescc uses environment variables, and I can't build apps from tinyos-main using the nescc 1.3.1 rpm. I tried on two different Windows installs with Cygwin and got the same errors.

Aha! It seems that the errors are due to emacs version 24.3.2. I downloaded emacs 24.2.1 and it builds without errors. I'm not sure what changed; it could be a change in the lisp parsing or a bug in emacs. Also, I'm not sure if it works with 24.3.2 on Ubuntu.

I just confirmed that nesC will not compile with emacs 24.3.* on Ubuntu.

I just got bit by this again setting up a new machine. Can someone with more knowledge of what's happening here ( @dgay42 ?) look into this? I imagine it will only continue to be a problem and it's not good if no modern system can build nesc...

Should be fixed by https://github.com/tinyos/nesc/commit/da4a54897562f030dc9dfcd7f9942f6a9e79785e
