Hi,

Thanks Matt for the detailed summary. I can confirm that there are two problems right now with respect to the help files and Qt Assistant executable:

1.) If a plug-in is recompiled and the Application starts, the updating mechanism for the modified plug-ins is not working correctly. This leads to (un)register errors of the qch files.

2.) On Linux, there seems to be a problem with "make package" and the Qt Assistant executable if it is located in a non-system directory (if you have compiled Qt yourself, instead of using the distribution packages).

We are working on resolving #1 and a fix #2 is being tested.

Thanks,
Sascha

Hi there people

If you have the time, it might be useful to step through the code in QtAssistantUtil::CallQtAssistant

Currently, the error message is too vague, and often incorrect.
(see here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.mitk.user/2643/match=qtassistantutil)

Also, it was recently reported
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=C152D53DC68C844999E8BF6C38A5AEEE12A0A4EF%40AMSPRD0104MB111.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com&forum_name=mitk-users <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=C152D53DC68C844999E8BF6C38A5AEEE12A0A4EF%40AMSPRD0104MB111.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com&forum_name=mitk-users>

that for external projects, even though built with the standard MITK-ProjectTemplate, the "make package" (unix) command does not install Qt assistant into the bundle (as far as I can tell), as the bundle does not verify due to assistant having external dependencies. I believe it may work if you compile against a Qt that is installed in a standard system location like /usr/lib and all the machines that you install the bundle on have access to qt in the same place. However, as it stands, it does not appear to produce an installable package. Oh yes, and the reason I mention it is because if you are producing an installable bundle, Qt assistant may be simply missing, and it gives the same error message.

There is also a bug when a plugin is updated, and hence the .qch file needs un-registering and re-registering:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.mitk.user/2647/match=qtassistantutil

So, it would be useful if we can collect evidence, and see if there is another problem, or a different problem, because as you say, it doesn't look like permissions.

I am having similar problems, but on Ubuntu 11.10. Running:

rm -r ~/.local/share/data/DKFZ/
~/dev/MITK-superbuild/MITK-build/bin/ExtApp

Gives multiple dialogs that I must click through:

Title: Help System Error
Message:
Registering one or more help files failed.
You may not have write permissions in <my home directory>

All the files exist and permissions are okay (owned by me and user-writable)

    Hi,

    I built my external MITK project with VS2010. At the first run the
    application gives error messages like this:

    "Help System Error"
    "Process failed to start: No such file or directory"

    Probably one for every help module. The application starts then, but
    the Help Contents menu does not do anything.

    This works well with VS2008, so probably I configured something wrong
    during the build with VS2010.

    The qch files are there in the build directories.

    Any idea?

    Does it work for others with VS2010?

    Thanks,
    Miklos
