SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. build, install ktechlab 2. in the menu, open Help -> KTechLab handbook OBSERVED RESULT 3.a. KHelpCenter shows up, with a page "Documentation not found" EXPECTED RESULT 3.b. KHelpCenter shows up, with KTechLab's manual SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 OTER INFORMATION The menu item launches khelpcenter help:/ktechlab/index.html if XDG_DATA_DIRS is prefixed with <ktechlab's installation path> + /share , then manually launching the command from above shows in the left pane ktechlab's manual and its chapters, while in the right pane it still shows "documentation not found" (URL: "help:kioslave5/help/documentationnotfound/index.html" ). Clicking on the chapters shows parsing errors in the terminal, while clicking on the main page shows "documentation not found". Perhaps it is related that ubuntu ships khelpcenter v5 (KF5 version), and ktechlab still used KDE 4 libraries.
using ktechlab master build from sources the documentation is displayed in khelpcenter
That is a good news, thanks for checking. What would be the difference between your setup and mine? On which linux distribution have you performed the test?
self compiled KTechLab Version 0.40.1 Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.38 running on a up to date kf5 master build from sources difference between our setups is probably the khelpcenter from kf5 I am using: Help Center Version 5.7.3 KDE Frameworks 5.53.0 Qt 5.11.1 (built against 5.11.1) The xcb windowing system
