Dear all...

I've successfully installed Lazarus v.0.9.16 on winXP and set up its offline help system. It's wonderfull to have the F1 key working and displaying appropriate help content. Thank you and congratulations to FPC and Lazarus development team.

To making the Lazarus online help sistem working offline, this is what I did...

1. Using HTTrack to download all content from Lazarus-CCR website (http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs). I got about 22 thousands HTML files (!) in about 120 MB total size.

2. After download, I copy FCL, LCL, and RTL folder to local Lazarus docs folder (mine in c:\programs\lazarus\docs)

3. Configure the Lazarus help system (menu Help|Configure Help) and set BaseURL property of FLC/LCL/RTL to local Lazarus docs folder.

Then, viola... I got Lazarus help system working offline (using CCR on my local disk)! No more reading Delphi's help files and no more read the source files.

What I need to do then is synchronized the CCR contents every once a week (using HTTrack again) to get the up-to-date help files. :)

Unfortunately, it seems the help system is not working while on the designer form. If press F1 when I got a TButton focused, the Lazarus is doing nothing. But in editor and object inspector, it works perfectly! :)
