Re: Kicad help and manual

 

Hello Wayne,

the files are in the right path (no modifications to NSIS script) in their langcode subdirs. I've tried to copy the file kicad.pdf almost all over the paths to find out the right one but had no success :-(

Hi gentlemen,

can I find out where the executable looks for help and manual files?
They are normally located in C:\Kicad\doc\help directory, but the
executable apparently looks somewhere else for them.

Does any of you know the right location for these files?

Thak you, Milan

Hi Milan,

I just installed Kicad BZR 5312 under Windows 8.1. Have a problem
viewing help files using Kicad help menu. PDF help files are located in
C:\Kicad\doc\help. Pop up message is that Kicad html or pdf file could
not be found. Where those files must be installed exactly?

Best regards,

Zoran


All of the kicad apps look in either ../doc/help or
../share/doc/kicad/help relative to the binary path of the application.
  The files should be installed in kicad_install_path/doc/help unless the
snapshot window's installers have been modified.
