Re: gtkmm and glibmm DevHelp books do not work

[Liomar da Hora <liomarhora gmail com>]

I'm having the same problem.
The amazing thing is that when I type in the terminal the following command: (devhelp -s gtkmm) gtkmm documentation to open a window and works normally. Not only her, but all documentation related to C ++.
The terminal displays several messages I'm still analyzing.

I met with the same problem after upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 16.10 with glibmm-2.4 2.48.1 and gtkmm-3.0 3.20.1.
Have you found a solution?

I noticed this in Builder, but it applies equally to DevHelp in the main (which Builder just calls on).

Both the gtkmm and glibmm documentation sets are shown as options in DevHelp, but they're unusable. DevHelp gives an "Error opening the requested link" on the 1st try to open any document in either tree, and is silent after that. Other docs work OK.

/usr/share/devhelp/books contains directories for both projects with .devhelp2 files therein, which seem to point at the correct paths (albeit via symlinks, but that makes no difference) - but neither are usable. I tried changing the path to avoid the symlink, and it made no difference. The files are present at the mentioned location and can be browsed using a normal web browser, just not DevHelp.

Is this just for me? Any ideas on how to fix it, either way?

Thanks
