 Installation instructions for GIMP Help
 ---------------------------------------
 
-This package includes prebuilt help files for The GIMP 2.0 as well as
-the XML sources that are needed to rebuild the HTML files.
+This package includes prebuilt help files for The GIMP 2.6.
 
-If you downloaded this tarball to install the help files, you don't
-need to worry about how to build the files. Just run the usual
-commands to install the prebuilt help:
+It is recommended, that you obtain the help files from your distributor
+(Debian, Ubuntu, Windows, etc).
 
- ./configure
- make
- make install  (you need root priviledges for this last step)
+To install the help files, copy them to your GIMP shared data directory:
 
-In order for configure to locate the GIMP installation, pkg-config
-needs to find gimp-2.0.pc. This file is installed with GIMP. If you
-installed GIMP by means of binary package, you may have to install
-the GIMP development package that provides gimp-2.0.pc.
-
-
-If you want to work on the help content, you should enable the build
-of the help files by using the --enable-build configure option:
-
- ./configure --enable-build
-
-The GIMP help documents are written in Docbook XML. Since the GIMP
-help browser wants HTML files, the documents need to be converted.
-This is done as an XSLT [1] using xsltproc [2].
-
-
-If you encounter any problems during the build, these are likely
-caused by the XSLT processor not being able to locate stylesheets it
-needs to do the transformation. You should have an XML catalog file
-that helps the XSLT processor to locate your locally installed
-stylesheets. In case you are missing such a catalog file or it is
-incomplete, you can specify the location of the stylesheets
-explicitely, for example:
-
- ./configure --with-xsl=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh
-
-
-By default we do not allow the XSLT processor to attempt to download
-external resources. If you have a fast internet connection, it may be
-useful to allow xsltproc to fetch DTDs or entities over the network:
-
- ./configure --enable-network
-
-
-If you want to test the built help files without installing them, you
-can create a symlink from $prefix/share/gimp/2.0/help to the html
-directory or set the environment variable GIMP2_HELP_URI.
-
-
-In case you just want to play with the help files without having GIMP
-installed, you can disable the check for gimp-2.0 like this:
-
- ./configure --without-gimp
-
-
-Other useful make targets
--------------------------
-
-dot: Creates a build-system.png using dot, which displays a map of the
-     build-system targets.
