Hi - I'm a newbie who's been playing with GTK for a few weeks now.
The API looks really great. The HTML documentation (generated from DocBook?) appears, as far as I can tell, to be quite excellent. So why the heck can't you search and browse the documentation as easily as, for example, hitting <F1> in Visual Studio, or an Info page in Emacs? Is DevHelp the only game in town? The (multiple different!) versions of DevHelp I've tried downloading or building on my SuSE (KDE-based) system have all failed in one way or another. For example: EXAMPLE DEVHELP BUILD ERROR: - make => make make all-recursive ... make[3]: Entering directory `/opt/devhelp-0.7/libegg/toolbar' /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link gcc -I/opt/gnome2/include/gtkhtml-2.0 ... ... grep: /usr/lib/libpopt.la: No such file or directory /usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libpopt.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libpopt.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[3]: *** [libegg-toolbar.la] Error 1 ... or ... EXAMPLE DEVHELP RUNTIME ERROR: - devhelp => (devhelp:2783): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1319 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed QUESTIONS: 1. Why can't the gtk-docs be generated in a search-ready format (like "man" and/or "info")? 2. If they already are, where can I download them, and how should I install them? 3. If they aren't ... but could be ... how can I help make these alternate formats a standard part of the gtk-doc distribution? Thanx in advance ..
