problem with help files
« on: October 01, 2011, 02:35:19 pm »
Hi all

I'm A newcomer to C++ and Code::blocks so please excuse my ignorance on some matters.

I have installed Code::blocks V10.05 on windows 7 32 bit and it seems to be working well. It has facilities well
beyond my needs at the moment but gives me plenty of "growing room".

I have one problem however I am trying to install Help files. The instructions for installation tell me to go to settings\environment and then to the help files tab. I can't find this anywhere in settings\environment

Does this version of code blocks use a different system or is the setting elsewhere in the program

Regards Mark

As the help facilities are based on a plugin, you need to ensure that you have actually installed the plugin ("Help plugin"). If unsure, run the installer again and make sure you select the plugin. It is possible, to run the installer again without uninstalling the old one (unless it differs in the version number). the installer will handle this gracefully, keeping your settings save.

Many thanks for your help

This was just what the problem was.
I reinstalled with all the plugins enabled and it all works fine now.
As a plus I now have even more facilities and "Bells and Whistles" to learn about, wonderful !
