I've been trying for quite a while to build the html documentation using the supplied build_html.sh script, however it never seems to work. Here's the error I get:

An unhandled exception occurred at $00035510 :
EFOpenError : Unable to open file "../../xml/lcl/alllclunits.pp.xml" $00035510
$0009CE05
$0006351F
$00003632

And indeed, that file doesn't exist. It's actually named "alllclunits.xml" (without the ".pp"). Unfortunately, I don't know enough about shell scripting to spot where it's going wrong.

Also, the "build_lcl_docs" project doesn't build and causes Lazarus to crash (I'm using the latest svn build, but this has been the case for some time).

For a while now, I've maintained a local copy of the fcl, rtl, and lcl docs by creating a mirror using wget. This is a nasty kludge, but it works.

While this is nice for our sourceforge statistics, it may be easier to download a docs snapshot from ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/

For example:
ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/fpc-lazarus-doc-html-20081007.tar.bz2

Hmm, I didn't know their were snapshots of the docs. Nice.

Anyway, that still doesn't resolve the script problem on OS X. Since there is a snapshot, I assume the script works under Linux?
