Installing CHM Help for The RTL, FCL and LCL in the Lazarus IDE
If you are using Lazarus from Subversion
The Lazarus help files can be installed following this easy steps:
1) Make sure that the package chmhelppkg is intalled. See the menu
Package->Install Packages. This package is installed by default in the
"bigide" so most users should already have it installed.
2) Open the project lazarus/components/chmhelp/lhelp/lhelp.lpi
3) Build this project
4) Download the latest stable Lazarus CHM help files from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Documentation/
5) Copy all CHM files to lazarus/docs/html
Now context sensitive help using F1 should already be working.
....
so why isn't this working??? what is the key step that has been left
out of the instructions??
I added to the wiki
6) Go to the Environment Options, tab "Help Options' and select the "CHM
Help Viewer". Check it's properties:
:"HelpExe" should be the lhelp you did just build
:"HelpFilesPath" should be, where you did put the chm files
which I found I needed to do, since my Lazarus was not in it's default
dir either
