what about the manual in 2.0.0

cantcode
When selecting Help->Manual I get: "Bugger, I couldn't find the helpfiles on the filesystem"
Is this a bug or is this for the future?
Is there a way to trigger a system command via Qt so the operation system would open a file with the standard application?
If so, what do you think about adding this to the installation package to have at least something:
http://www.gamefront.com/files/23743877/manual_flp_v1_0.pdf.zip
5d4a7b7dea05ebd0d21119cee0428879  manual_flp_v1_0.pdf

If not, can we disable/deactivate the button?
Or replace "Bugger, I couldn't find the helpfiles on the filesystem" with something else like "Have a look at our wiki http://wiki.librecad.org/index.php/Main_Page".

Hello cantcode,

Where did you get libreCAD and which version are you using? It
shouldn't say that, there should be a help window pointing you to a
website.

I downloaded the zip archive from git and built it in QtCreator.

Ok , tested it on a machine where LibreCAD is installed from a package and it works there.
So I guess that's just a path problem or something in those lines??
After searching the directories I found a doc folder containing a html page and some other files.
Trying to copy the doc folder to/unix/resources did not fix that.
Can you tell me where/what has to be where to make it work?

Looking at librecad/src/main/qc_applicationwindow.cpp at line 3913
it says:
 if ((RS_SYSTEM->getDocPath().length()>0) && (QFile::exists(RS_SYSTEM->getDocPath()+ "/LibreCADdoc.qhc")==true))

So LibreCAD is looking for "LibreCADdoc.qhc"
But when I look into my doc folder, there is no LibreCADdoc.qhc file the closest thing is LibreCADdoc.qhcp
Can someone tell me how I can get those .qhc file?

After building, did you run:
scripts/postprocess-unix.sh
?

it was supposed to run during the build, perhaps there was a warning
or error in your log that it couldn't build the help?

qcollectiongenerator is needed.
