Hi,

Lazarus help does not work for LCL stuff on my installation: "No help found for...'. On the other hand, it works fine for RTL and FCL. The effect is the same for html and chm help.

There are 4 items in the help configuration lower box (Databases):
- Start Page
- RTLUnits
- FCLUnits
- FreePascal compiler messages

There is no LCL entry.
Lazarus 0.9.31 r30486M FPC 2.5.1 i386-linux-gtk 2

Lazarus help config has been, and still is, very cryptic to set.

Along the same line, Tools/Options/Environment/FPDoc editor has an entry for FPDoc files path. Tools/Options/Help/Help options has an entry for FP Doc html path. Any difference between the two?

Thanks,
Stephano

These are XML directories (raw data), used by the FPDoc Editor.

Tools/Options/Help/Help options has an entry for FP Doc html path.

This one is for the final HTML files, used e.g. by F1.

So what should it be set to?

Pressing the help button with that page displayed goes to a page on the Wiki which hasn't been updated since '05. I think there's a strong argument for that help page to be hardcoded using the IDE's configured language, and possibly with reference to what's known about the system it's running on.

And the joys of Online only help continues... ;-) See attached screenshot.
