Can the 3.1.1 documentation be viewed as html on the website? where?

The 3.0.0 version is easy to find... but I'd like to see the one under development

Thanks!
David.

No.

It is not under development.
I only document released material.

I guess I should have phrased my question differently.

I filed a bug against the documentation and it was marked fixed in 3.1.1, what's the best way to review the new version?

Thanks!

You'll have to check the sources.
There are no daily builds of the documentation.

You'll have to have a copy of FPC's 3.1.1 source code. You will also have to check out the latest documentation from the SubVersion repository using the following URL.

svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcdocs/trunk fpcdocs

Then build the documentation yourself. The build process is only supported under Linux, though I have managed to get it to work under FreeBSD. But as far as I know, Windows is not build the PDF documentation, you will need LaTeX installed. The RTL and FCL documentation can be built without having LaTeX installed.

Here is a custom build script I made to build RTL and FCL documentation in the INF help format under FreeBSD.

================[ build_inf.sh ]========================= #!/bin/bash
rm rtl.chk fcl.chk
gmake rtl.chk fcl.chk HTMLFMT=ipf FPCSRCDIR=/data/devel/fpc-3.1.1/src FPDOC=/data/devel/fpc-3.1.1/x86_64-freebsd/bin/fpdoc =========================================================

Building HTML output should be pretty much the same, but simply change HTMLFMT's value to 'html' (if I remember correctly). Under Linux, you will probably have to change 'gmake' to 'make' too.
