    Hello. I can't seems to understand how to build Qt documentation files to custom install directory. I downloaded sources using Git to a folder
    @c:\Dev\Qt\src@

    Created a custom folder for my installation
    @c:\Dev\Qt\5.0.2-win32-msvc2012@

    From the sources folder I ran
    @configure -debug-and-release -opensource -c++11 -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop -platform win32-msvc2012 -no-icu -no-angle -mp -prefix C:\Dev\Qt\5.0.2-win32-msvc2012
    nmake
    nmake install@
    All went ok and I got working Qt libs in c:\Dev\Qt\5.0.2-win32-msvc2012, but the c:\Dev\Qt\5.0.2-win32-msvc2012\doc folder is almost empty - it's only 134KB and has only one subfolder "global".
    I tried to run
    @nmake docs
    nmake install@

    from source folder, but with no luck.
    Also, I've checked the
    @qmake -query@

    It shows
    @QT_INSTALL_DOCS:C:/Dev/Qt/5.0.2-win32-msvc2012/doc@

    as supposed to be.

    Qt Assistant also doesn't show anything in Contents.

    So, what's wrong? How can I get documentation?
    Thank you.

      what's the output of "nmake docs" ?

      I think you also need to build qttools.git in order to generate the .qch files

        Just found, that docs are actually builded. Both: .html and .qch versions. But they are scattered in sub-folders "/doc" of each module. So, is this normal? I just have to add .qch files to Qt Assistant?

          all the .qch files should be at the same level .. html's are inside subdirectories ..

          and yes, you can just add all the .qch files to Qt Assistant
