make bigide does not include chmhelppkg. You have to pass
OPT=-dUseCHMHelp to do that.
I made using bigide, and the package was in the installed list.
See ide/lazarus.pp
Maybe you are confusing "installed" lists?
I mean in the sense of the "If you are using Lazarus from Subversion" in
the
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Help_in_the_IDE#Installing_CHM_Help_for_The_RTL.2C_FCL_and_LCL_in_the_Lazarus_IDE
page which is cited by the trunk IDE's Help -> Online Help page: the
instructions are accurate (it's only page and link organisation that
I've been querying).
I still had to build lhelp manually.
Check if you have local modifications. In trunk the makefile target
bigide includes lhelp.
Same applies.
The docs have references to the RTL+FCL docs, which are outside the
Lazarus sources and have references to programmers guide, which
requires latex. The whole doc build chain has too many dependencies and
need several minutes to build. That's not feasible for a simple make
command.
So what's best to do here: download them as binaries and install where/how?
Download the chm files and put them into "yourlazarus/docs/chm/".
OK, so I get
ftp://freepascal.stack.nl/pub/fpc/dist/2.6.0/docs/doc-chm.zip and
unpack. The .txt file says copy the files to docs/html which I'm
assuming is wrong, so I end up with .chm (etc.) files in
/usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk/docs/chm and the Lazarus IDE picks them
up automatically.
Congratulations and thanks to everybody who's worked hard to get the IDE
to this point (and who's put up with my occasionally bull-headed questions).
