current SVN, QT4 project under Linux

(1/2) > >>

anli:
Have not found a way to configure (as selected from templates) QT4 project. Under Gentoo Linux QT4 has not single "location".

Any tricks?

And one more little question (I'm not sure new thread must be created for it). What does mean "help file" in help configuration?

oz:
The same porblem has been occured before on wxWidgets project wizard. hopefully it could be fixed soon.

"Help file" refers to Windows *.hlp and *.chm help files.  The newer versions of the help configuration also support url's, though (just manually enter the url in the text box.)  Check out the Help->Plugins->Help plugin for more details.

I have tried to associate *.html files with an external browser, and entered something like file://..../index.html as a help URL.Still without success. Does it mean Code::Blocks is win32 oriented?

Not necessarily.  Looking at the help plugin source, here's what it does...

if the path starts with "http://", it launches the default web browser using wxLaunchDefaultBrowser().
if the path ends with ".chm" or ".hlp" (and a keyword exists), it launches the respective help file handlers.
in any other case, it checks for a valid mime type, then launches the file with wxExecute()

I don't know if wxLaunchDefaultBrowser() and wxExecute() are windows specific calls with wx, but maybe you can double-check your file:// path (I opened the html file in firefox and copied the address bar, then pasted it into the help config), or make sure the html mime types are set up correctly.
