Hi,
I am trying to find out how to deal with the Help plug-in (release 10.05, I'm working on Ubuntu 10.04 TLS x86_64).
What are my expectations from such a plug-in:
- to select a keyword in the source file (ex: cpp/h)
- to press F1 (or Help->[my help man-page]) and to see a help file (or man or HTML or anything that is setup properly) that display the help page related to selected keyword
If the plug-in is not capable of doing this then it's not a help plug-in, it's just another external tool def (see Tools menu).
OK, in order to test all plug-in capabilities I have defined 3 manuals as following:
For Linux CHM manpage I have installed gnochm viewer (0.9.11) then I have created a new entry in Settings->Environment settings->Help files as following:
command: gnochm /home/eugen/devel/man/manpages.chm
This line represents a full command to be executed = ON
When pressing F1 (or by selecting corresponding shortcut in Help menu) the CHM manual is open successfully.
Q: how to setup this entry properly in order to open not only the manual but also the page corresponding to my $(keyword)?
I have to mention that I have searched the gnochm manual but couldn't find anything relevant.
Also, using the advice of C::B wiki (corresponding to CHM Files) I have defined the entry only with the command:/home/eugen/devel/man/manpages.chm. This is not working too. Did I missed something?
I have started the C::B from terminal (in order to capture the output) and when I am choosing the help shortcut it shows on terminal "Help File is /home/eugen/devel/man/manpages.chm" but nothing happens.
Is something related to C::B or gnochm? In the meanwhile I will use the yelp as it proves to be reliable.
Regarding the other two (tested) options:
- for Linux man page I have used the C::B wiki example (command=man:/usr/share/man and uncheck anything else) and I have to say that it works like a charm.
- for Google search option (or any other http webpage) I have followed also the C::B wiki example and must to confirm it's OK.
Edit: does anyone know where can I find latest C++ linux manpages? (right now I have downloaded and using everything I could find at
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/doxygen/)
