<DIV>When you install Gideon (KDevelop 3), you don't get access to</DIV>
<DIV>the user manual from the Help menu. That's because KDE Help</DIV>
<DIV>Center looks for the user manual under the application name</DIV>
<DIV>(which is temporarily "gideon"), but the user manual is</DIV>
<DIV>actually installed as ".../kdevelop/index.docbook".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To get around this problem, change to "root" user (su) and do:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> cd /opt/kde3/share/doc/HTML/en</DIV>
<DIV> ln -s
/opt/kde3/share/doc/HTML/en/kdevelop gideon</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That creates a link from /opt/kde3/share/doc/HTML/en/gideon</DIV>
<DIV>to .../kdevelop, which the KDE Help Center finds and follows.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If your KDE 3 is not installed under /opt/kde3, modify the</DIV>
<DIV>above accordingly. To check where KDE 3 is, try the
command</DIV>
<DIV>"whereis kwrite", when you are logged in as yourself (not
root).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW KDE Help Center is also the neatest and cleanest way I</DIV>
<DIV>know to view "index.docbook" files, which are written in</DIV>
<DIV>Docbook XML.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are new to Gideon, please read Bernd Pol's new Chapter 6</DIV>
<DIV>in the documentation, "Getting started: the application wizard".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bernd is improving and adding to the user manual every few days,</DIV>
<DIV>so it might pay you to keep Gideon up to date, or you can look at</DIV>
<DIV><A
href="http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/">http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/</A> (KDE
WebCVS). That</DIV>
<DIV>is an index to KDE source code, where you can see all the latest</DIV>
<DIV>change dates and log messages for any file.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The "KDevelop 3 User Manual" in WebCVS is in the file</DIV>
<DIV>"kdevelop/doc/kdevelop/index.docbook". You can download</DIV>
<DIV>just that file from there, if you like, but you would have to
"install"</DIV>
<DIV>it yourself, by copying to /opt/kde3/share/doc/HTML/en/kdevelop</DIV>
<DIV>as "root". I do NOT recommend such a "short cut" for anything</DIV>
<DIV>other than an index.docbook file! Even then you might miss
some</DIV>
<DIV>screenshots or other image files.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
