Compiling lhelp project produces the following error: chmspecialparser.pas(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit chmFIftiMain used by chmcontentprovider

Additionally, the source editor shows unit ChmSpecialParser and highlights the first line (a comment block) instead of showing unit chmcontentprovider and highlighting the uses clause. However, a 2nd compilation will highlight the right offending line!

Lazarus v0.9.27 r17528 i386-win32-win32/win64
FPC 2.2.2

Any suggestions?

I improved the message beautifier, so that now the source editor should jump directly to the right place.

lhelp compiles here. Maybe your svn is not up2date or contains local changes?

Mattias, I guess you are using fpc 2.3.1. Some files are still not merged into fixes_2_2.

Best regards,

It does now indeed

To be on the safe side, I reverted the lazarus trunk and updated as well. Same issue.

However I have just received Paul's reply. I will try compiling with FPC 2.3.1. Sorry my bad I did not specify I was using FPC 2.2.2.

Thanks

ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/
The latest is
ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/fpc-lazarus-doc-chm-20081114.tar.bz2, which probably doesn't have search index yet.

Thanks! I had spent half an hour looking for the chm files to no avail. I guess http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/ should be updated to reflect this file.

As for the search index, are you referring to what appears under Index or Search?

Other lhelp bugs:
- The top of the Index page is covered by some invisible control. Navigating to the Search page then back to the Index page solves this.

- The Search page does not have an edit box to type the search keyword.

- Invoking lhelp from the IDE inevitably launches a console terminal (Win XP) which is unnecessary.

Pics will follow in separate emails due to size allowance.

Under search.

IMHO, Lhelp is not really ready for use, there fore the console terminal.
