    I've built both Qt 5.15.8 and Qt Creator 6.0.2 open source version on RHEL 7.7. When I open the Help Contents in Creator I see plenty of items in the Contents panel but they appear to be all items from the Qt 5.15.8 Reference Documentation, I don't see any Qt Creator-specific help.

    I also have the commercial version Qt Creator 8.0.1 installed and running and looking at the help there, I see there's a "Qt Creator Manual" that documents the Creator application among some other things that I was hoping would also be available in the Open Source version.

    Here's how I built Qt Creator 6.0.2 open source, the "build" directory being nested under qt-creator-opensource-src-6.0.2. I think I toggled all the "DOCS" flags to "ON" which I figured should build/provide a Creator manual like what I see on the commercial side:

    # cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt5.15.8/5.15.8" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/Qt5.15.8/Tools/QtCreator -DBUILD_DEVELOPER_DOCS=ON -DWITH_DOCS=ON -DWITH_ONLINE_DOCS=ON
    
    # cmake --build .
    
    # cmake --install .
    
    # cmake --install . --component Dependencies
    

    Am I missing a separate cmake call to build the Creator documentation similar to make docs/make install_docs when building the open source Qt? A switch to the first cmake call? Is the Creator Help a commercial version only thing?

      Here's how I figured out how to get the documentation built and installed:

      $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt5.15.8/5.15.8 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/Qt5.15.8/Tools/QtCreator -DBUILD_DEVELOPER_DOCS=ON -DWITH_DOCS=ON 
      cmake --build .
      gmake html_docs
      gmake qch_docs
      cmake --install .
      cmake --install . --component html_docs
      cmake --install . --component qch_docs
      cmake --install . --component Dependencies
