Can't usw the Help Mode
-
Hello, I've been having this problem off and on for a while, but I always thought there was some issue with the way I was building Qt (currently 5.3.1) and Qt Creator (3.2.81).
If I click on the
help
button on the left hand side, or click help->contents from the menu, I get exactly pauloiod got, except the main text said:@Error loading: qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.312/doc/index.html@
How do I determine if the correct doc was built/installed in my configuration?
Thanks!

Hi ErickFMA
What platform do you use?
Do you have Qt Assistant installed? -

Hi Charlie...
Sorry, forget to mention Mac OS 10.9.5
Don't know what Qt Assistant is or if it's installed. Whatever I have is the result of building Qt 5.3.1 and Qt Creator 3.2.81 from the Git repository. If Qt Assistant isn't installed as a result of doing qmake/make on the repository, then I probably don't have it.
In that case, how do I install/build it?
Thanks!

Maybe these links can help you to get Qt Assistant:

I'll look into that. But I would think that if you built Qt-Creator it would have what it needed to view the Qt-Creator help. No?

OK, looked at the links...

http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/6158 Not quite the same issue. In this one, the internal documentation does display, which it doesn't for me
https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.7/assistant-custom-help-viewer.html#displaying-custom-documentation I'm not trying to do anything custom, just view the "built-in" help that comes with Qt-Creator
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/install-mac.html Not applicable, since it's for Qt 4.8. I've already built 5.3 (and I've been doing my old builds since 4.7), and the problem is in Qt-Creator as near as I can tell.
[/quote]
I should reiterate that, on occasion, my local build has had no problem displaying the Qt-Creator/Qt doc, and then suddenly, it can't.
One other thing that might be an issue, is where is the doc supposed to live?
In the preferences, under Help, "I see this: ":http://feigenson.net/ForumUploads/ScreenShot2014-11-23at11.38.54PM.jpg
I'm wondering where qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.312/doc/index.html is supposed to live on my disk. I don't know how to parse a qthelp URL.
Anyone have any ideas on that?
Thanks!
