Hi Harry, i did some research regarding the start of the default html browser on windows via „start“. I have commited a new patch
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/commit/?id=970c24cc433e6d87cb3c502b2d2bdce6775a3d3e <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/commit/?id=970c24cc433e6d87cb3c502b2d2bdce6775a3d3e> which hopefully works on windows also. The help system will look for help resources with the following priorities: First: The yelp system, then If the directory <docpath>/pspp.html exists Try the local html help files via <docpath>/pspp.html/<helppage>.html, else http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/index.html <http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/index.html> To install the local html help pages (not the single page version), you have to run make html make install-html This will produce <psppinstallt>/share/doc/pspp/pspp.html/index.html and other html files in that directory. (Hopefully on windows also with suffix .html …) Friedrich > Am 25.05.2016 um 14:31 schrieb Harry Thijssen <[email protected]>: > > Hi Friedrich > > 2016-05-25 8:10 GMT+02:00 Friedrich Beckmann <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>>: > Hi Harry, > > thanks for testing the two patches on windows! > > The help function is trying the following steps > > a) starting help via yelp -> this will not work in windows > b) Opening a local html file -> Depends on the existencs of a local pspp.html > directory in the doc path > I guess you have the local html installed somewhere > <yourpsppinstall>/share/doc/pspp/pspp.html/index.html for the start page > c) Open the help via the gnu pspp internet site > > You could help me debugging this with > > Could you tell me the path of the pspp.html directory where you have the > local html files? > > I changed my procedure and copied the file pspp.html from Ben's daily tarball > builds to <yourpsppinstall>/share/doc/pspp/pspp.html > > Could you try if > > start file:///<yourlocalpath>/share/doc/pspp/pspp.html/index.html > <file:////%3Cyourlocalpath%3E/share/doc/pspp/pspp.html/index.html> > > I have just 1 file copied from Bens daily builds. > > "<yourlocalpath>/share/doc/pspp/pspp.html" > > works for me in a command shell.
