Given that this is a port request, it would at least be helpful to give the URL for it.

I'm new to this platform, and I would really like to build a port for this project, TinyOS. Anyone could help me to start developing this port? I would really appreciate.

comment:4 Changed 15 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

It might be easiest to look at other ports for some guidance. Here's a random one:

port edit gegl

Note that you might need to set your EDITOR environment variable first.

But the guide is invaluable.

Thank you. What about set editor environment variable? What do you mean?

I have just start reading the guide, tell me if I'm wrong:

first - download the package that I would like to port second - define what dependance the software need, by reading the MAKE file third - start writing the TLC script for the portfile

In your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile file (whichever you have), add the following line:

export EDITOR=bbedit

Alternately, in place of ""bbedit" use your favorite editor such as emacs, vi, etc.

Your steps are a good start.

Thank you.

Excuse me, do you now a simple procedure to access hidden files in Finder, without changing the entire system behavior?

comment:8 Changed 15 years ago by giorgio.maz+mp@…

A little tips for neophyte (like me) of Mac development: to access specific hidden files or folder use this little free utility, Houdini http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26729; a simple EDITOR could be skEdit http://www.skti.org/skedit/.

The web repository for TinyOS on Sourceforge is: http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyos/

Now, anyone know how to download content from a CVS repository?

comment:9 Changed 15 years ago by giorgio.maz+mp@…

I assume that this port development is a sort of introductory course on MacPort, so, please excuse me.

CVS is integrated in OS X: type in a TERMINAL windows this code

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos co -P tinyos-2.x

and you will get the project folder downloaded in your Home folder on Mac, honestly I don't yet know how to upgrade it. I don't know if tool that support subversion also support CVS natively.

If you want to upgrade
