[Lazarus] Lazarus trunk? Please recompile lhelp
Summary: If you are on Lazarus trunk, please recompile components\chmhelp\lhelp\lhelp.lpr Details: - Lhelp improvements Lhelp is used to show (context-sensitive) help. Recently, Juha kindly committed revision 46121 for me, fixing bugtracker issue/feature 26614 * Making communication with lhelp more robust * Updating communications protocol from version 1 to 2 (see * Debug file support for lhelp diagnostic info, e.g. set environment variable lhelp_debuglog to the path/filename of your desired log file (note: needs patch/solution in bug 26537 first though) - Result Because the help communication protocol version has changed existing lhelp applications reporting version 1 (or no version) should not (or might not reliably) work with current Lazarus trunk. The solution is to rebuild lhelp. - Please report issues Please report any regressions (i.e. problems that occur with the new protocol but did *not* occur with the old protocol) and I'll have a look. Note that there are some known existing problems with lhelp - see bugtracker, including 26556: when starting lhelp, it flickers when loading all the chms in a directory. Help appreciated - I probably am too ignorant of the IPro components... -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Hi Reinier, So will this mean that we can now use .chm help files reliably in our projects?
