It's in the daily builds... someone should fix that {looks in the mirror}...

Scott,

make sure that this command can run fine: qcollectiongenerator LibreCADdoc.qhcp

See line 10 and 11 of : postprocess-unix.sh

It generates the helpfiles into a sqlite3 database file with the extension *.qhc and *.qch

The OSX script copies them to the right directory using the following two lines

cp librecad/support/doc/*.qhc $RESOURCEDIR/Resources/doc

cp librecad/support/doc/*.qch $RESOURCEDIR/Resources/doc

I think these two lines should be added to postprocess-unix.sh to create a complete package aswell...

The background of the script are so that the user can compile and run LibreCAD without doing a full installation.
