In order for nc2moml to successfully compile any given .nc file, there must be an "opts" file in the same directory that specifies the correct include paths (using the -I flag), so that nc2moml can find any necessary dependencies (otherwise it uses the default paths that the nesC compiler uses). If the opts file does not exist, or is not fully specified, then the .nc file will not compile succesfully. Unfortunately, many directories in contrib do not follow this standard (which is used in many parts of the main tos branch), so you will probably have to create these by hand. The .tar.gz file that you unzip (with unzip-opts.sh) when setting up nc2moml contains some opts files that were created by hand by David Gay for the main branch. You can use that as an example. You can usually extract the correct paths from a makefile in the same directory, since this is the usual alternative way that people use to specify paths.
I suggest that you read the following pages for more information: $PTII/ptolemy/domains/ptinyos/util/ $PTII/ptolemy/domains/ptinyos/util/nc2moml/index.htm $PTII/ptolemy/domains/ptinyos/util/ncapp2moml/index.htm ncapp2moml is not the same as nc2moml. ncapp2moml compiles whole TinyOS applications, rather than individual .nc files. You'll have to look at the .java source code for these tools to understand how they work and/or read the .htm pages above. You can run both the nc2moml and ncapp2moml scripts with a -v option in order to get more detailed debugging output.
