Re: PDF version of help documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So, I'd still really like the help files installed correctly with the gimp on OpenBSD. A PDF version would be acceptable, but I'd prefer the help file to compile and install correctly under OpenBSD.

OpenBSD 4.4 shipped today, so perhaps now is the time to create a port or package for OpenBSD 4.5? It will be out in six months, which should be plenty of time.

I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

Thanks,

- Mark Beihoffer

I am very sure that the build system was initially designed to
distribute pre-built HTML files. And I am also sure that this used to be
done at some point in history. The installation instructions for the
user manual still clearly state this.

The current help system requires that GIMP be installed first.  It would
be great if one could simply download a PDF file, with no dependence
between the documentation and the GIMP software.

we provide PDF builts of the documentation. Though they're currently a
bit outdated, but we will update them as soon as possible.

You can find them at:

THat is not correct. The configure script looks for a GIMP installation
only to find out where to install the help files. You can easily skip
that check by passing --without-gimp to the configure script.
