Installation Instructions for Bricx Command Center v3.3.8.9

  1. Run the Bricxcc setup executable. Follow the setup wizard instructions.
    • If you choose a custom install you can select whether to install the NQC Tutorial (written by Mark Overmars with a few minor revisions by John Hansen).
    • You can also choose whether to install the NQC Compiler. If you already have NQC installed you may wish to deselect this option.
    • To enable full support for MindScript and LASM you should choose to install the LCC32 command-line compiler (this is installed by default).
  2. (Optional but recommended) To get the very latest features and support for the newest LEGO programmable bricks you should download and extract the latest test release of BricxCC. Make sure the directory structure in the zip is maintained when you extract the files.
  3. (Optional) To enable WinHelp support under more recent Windows versions, you will likely need to review the following posts:
  4. (Optional) Download and extract the latest version of NQC (if not using the older version that installs with BricxCC). The NQC executable (nqc.exe) must be in a directory on your PATH or in the same directory as BricxCC.exe. The LCC executable (lcc32.exe) must be similarly located.
  5. (Optional) Download and install the LEGO Mindstorms SDK 2.5 to enable MindScript and LASM compile and download support for RCX2, Scout, and Spybot bricks.
  6. (Optional) To enable RCX brickOS C/C++/Pascal support and leJOS Java support
    1. Download an all-in-one setup executable with Cygwin and GCC 2.95.2 (included with these release files) which installs a small subset of cygwin along with pre-built H8 tools.
    2. Once you have successfully downloaded and installed the cygwin configuration and H8 compiler tools then install the minimal brickOS and leJOS for BricxCC (also included with these release files)
    3. For leJOS, the Java Developers Kit will also be needed.
    • NOTE: If you get an error when you try to run the installer that it is missing BricxCCSetupCygwin.002 that means the download did not complete successfully. Please try to download it again during off-peak hours or using a download manager utility of some sort.
