If you are on Lazarus trunk, please recompile<br>
components\chmhelp\lhelp\lhelp.lpr<br>
<br>
Details:<br>
- Lhelp improvements<br>
Lhelp is used to show (context-sensitive) help.<br>
<br>
Recently, Juha kindly committed revision 46121 for me, fixing bugtracker<br>
issue/feature 26614<br>
<br>
* Making communication with lhelp more robust<br>
* Updating communications protocol from version 1 to 2 (see<br>
* Debug file support for lhelp diagnostic info, e.g. set environment<br>
variable lhelp_debuglog to the path/filename of your desired log file<br>
(note: needs patch/solution in bug 26537 first though)<br>
<br>
- Result<br>
Because the help communication protocol version has changed existing<br>
lhelp applications reporting version 1 (or no version) should not (or<br>
might not reliably) work with current Lazarus trunk.<br>
The solution is to rebuild lhelp.<br>
<br>
- Please report issues<br>
Please report any regressions (i.e. problems that occur with the new<br>
protocol but did *not* occur with the old protocol) and I'll have a look.<br>
<br>
Note that there are some known existing problems with lhelp - see<br>
bugtracker, including 26556: when starting lhelp, it flickers when<br>
loading all the chms in a directory. Help appreciated - I probably am<br>
too ignorant of the IPro components...<br>
