I still had to build lhelp manually.
Check if you have local modifications. In trunk the makefile target
bigide includes lhelp.
Same applies.
If you don't have a components/chmhelp/lhelp/lhelp after doing a "make
bigide", then please report the bug.
I'll revisit that on a clean system as soon as I'm able.
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.
Yes, the paths are a little bit confusing.
I've been working through this several times with the intention of
putting Lazarus docs build (from source) plus FPC docs copy (from
binaries) into my usual build/installation scripts, but am finding that
the FPC (RTL etc.) stuff is only picked up intermittently. Is there a
cache to be cleared somewhere or something comparable?
