[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53006] GUI Documentation Browser displays Index chapters of manual poorly

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #72, bug #53006 (project octave):

I looked at all the data sent into that ->search() call.  Everything looked
good... except the following may be a typo:


 
     connect(m_help_engine, SIGNAL(setupFinished()),
-            m_help_engine->searchEngine(), SLOT(indexDocumentation()));
+            m_help_engine->searchEngine(), SLOT(reindexDocumentation()));
 
     if (! m_help_engine->setupData())


but it doesn't matter as far as what I'm looking at because re-indexing
probably isn't necessary in this limited use.  The search engine simply
doesn't execute.

It then dawned on me what the issue is.  I put the build tree in a separate
account to keep from archiving/backup all those object files.  So, the
directory/account I'm running from doesn't have the permission for the build
tree.  I then ran the GUI from that account, and the search then works.

Something to think about I guess.  Once this is installed, the executable and
QHC file will be in a directory not owned by the user running the GUI.  Is
there some type of temporary directory location that needs to defined, maybe
where the QHelpSearchEngine can place a hash or intermediate results file?
