Hi Mattias & list,
In testing with my fpcup installer, I've noticed that the lhelp build
gets kicked off on the fly sometimes when I press F1 on a keyword.
Very nice!
However, I also noticed it doesn't seem to pick up my (non-default)
primary config path but uses the default (i.e.
C:\Users\Reinier\AppData\Local\lazarus\ on my Vista box).
I tried to reproduce this using a snapshot on a clean Windows machine
but couldn't get the lhelp compile to work by just pressing F1 on a
keyword.... because it is delivered as a precompiled .exe
So, just wanted to know if primary config path of the current IDE taken
into account when kicking off the lhelp build?
If you (probably Mattias...) don't know by heart, I'd be happy to dig
deeper and find out myself!
On a related note: would it make sense to distribute lhelp compiled with
default instead of debug mode (i.e. with no or external debug symbols)?
This would reduce size from about 20 meg to about 3 meg on a Windows
machine...
(Don't know if it is considered better to have a larger exe where you
can get a backtrace, but a patch is attached if wanted)
Thanks,
Reinier
