I couldn't make work Lazarus Online Help on Ubuntu 9.10. The first show
stopper is the inability to launch an web browser from Lazarus. The
Ubuntu default FireFox is not recognized in the browser search code, and
a manual fix in Environment Options didn't work. The invoked shell
script (why that?) doesn't launch FireFox.
Next comes the inability to configure the URLs. I found the HTML files
installed in /usr/share/..., but even when I set the path to this
directory, I get an error like "StartPage could not find
/usr/lib/.../index.html". Obviously my settings are *ignored* :-(
Furthermore the URLs should be preconfigured, what should be easy for
the default web resources. It would be okay if these are hard coded
somewhere, so that the Options only reflect local copies - please
clarify! Eventually the (advanced) user should have a chance to select
help from local or remote resources, which are updated independently
from each other.
