tinyos make: *** No rule to make target 'telosb'. Stop

Question

I installed tinyos on ubuntu 15.04 following this tutorial: http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos-wiki/index.php/Automatic_installation

My telosb is well detected:

root@liberty:/opt/tinyos-release-tinyos-2_1_2/apps/Blink# motelist
Reference  Device           Description
---------- ---------------- ---------------------------------------------
FTYP7UJV   /dev/ttyUSB0     FTDI MTM-CM5000MSP

My tinyos.env:

    root@liberty:/opt/tinyos-release-tinyos-2_1_2# cat tinyos.env 

# Here we setup the environment
# variables needed by the tinyos 
# make system
export TOSROOT="/opt/tinyos-release-tinyos-2_1_2/"
export TOSDIR="$TOSROOT/tos"
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$TOSROOT/support/sdk/java
export MAKERULES="$TOSROOT/support/make/Makerules"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$TOSROOT/support/sdk/python
echo "setting up TinyOS on source path $TOSROOT"

when I compile:

root@liberty:/opt/tinyos-release-tinyos-2_1_2/apps/Blink# make telosb
make: *** No rule to make target 'telosb'.  Stop.

I have build-essentials, nescc, gcc, make etc..

Many thanks in advance for your help

Answer 1

maybe you can do it without the root privileges, but under the user privileges.
then: cd /opt/tinyos-release-tinyos-2_1_2/apps/Blink
then: sudo chmod -R 777 .
then: make telosb

Answer 2

Old post, but the previous answers are not completely clear.

You have to point to that tinyos.env file. In order to do that, from your home directory: Open the .bashrc file:

sudo nano .bashrc

On the bottom of your .bashrc file, add the line:

source <path_to_tinyos_folder>/tinyos.env

Of course the file tinyos.env contains the setup enviroment variables.

Answer 3

perform every task as a super user and the queries will be resolved. for e.g.:

$ sudo touch tinyos-env
$ sudo nano tinyos-env

perform the copy and change the TOSROOT path accordingly also copy the same file to your ~/.bashrc file and perform every application as a super user

$ sudo su

Though this post is bit too late, the last comment of the thread helped to resolve this query for TinyOS on Ubuntu-15.04 for me recently.
