Code::Blocks8.02 help files
« on: July 17, 2010, 01:07:34 pm »
I’ve in stalled Code::Blocks8.02  some time back and there are no HELP files, could you please post some instruction on installing these files or point me to a link on the subject! My searches of the forum and Google have been fruitless.

Cheers for this link!  I’ve down load the .chm version but when I open it the list of contents appears; but if I try to open any of the topics you get this error message

Note: Probably you could try the new version 10.05 :)
(most of the time I ignore long posts)

Ok so I've load 10.05 and there is still no help files,  so I'm stumbling around in the IDE trying to figure things out instead of coding :cry:
Help please(I think I’m becoming obsessed with helpfiles in the .chm format)

If you can't use chm, why not using pdf or html ?

If you can not open the chapters in chm-files, it' most likely a problem with the security settings for chm-files in windows.
In some versions you can change the settings from the files context-menu in the windows explorer.
