This may not help, but try BricX. I believe it comes with NQC built in, along with a nice little GUI. The firmware is the same as what came with your lego software. I don't know about you, but I was pretty much able to learn how by looking at the (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Where would I find a simple reference for getting started with NQC? I'm looking for something that lists what software/firmware you need to get NQC code into the RCX and walks you through getting a program running. Thanks! -- Tony Hafner (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Rick, It sounds as if you have gcc working, however, the version of objcopy that you copied from another folder is incompatible with the hitachi h8 version of gcc. You need to have a special version of objcopy that is designed for the h8 (the RCX). (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Some versions of the gcc executables are named h8300-hms-*.exe (ex: h8300-hms-gcc.exe) The Makefile.common, as you pointed out expects h8300-hitachi-hms-*.exe If this is what you are experiencing, then you have two options: 1) make copies of them, (...)
