Opening .chm (Microsoft compiled HTML help) files under SuSe Linux

[marshallquan]

Greetings my Linux amigos

Here's a little article about how to install support for the chm (compiled HTML) help files.

• Check if you have wxGTK 2.6 or better installed.
  If not, go to www.wxWidgets.org and download sources wxAll and wxGTK.

• You will also need chmlib.

• To compile and install these packages follow the excelent instructions inside each archive.
  Basicaly, you need to "./configure", "make" and "make install" from the console. (don't forget to login as root first)

• Go to xchm web site and follow the instructions for downloading, or go directly to sourceforge and download sources.
  Follow the instalation instructions, and that's it.

xCHM has been written by Razvan Cojocaru (razvanco@gmx.net). It is licensed under the GPL.

This installation process worked on:

• Intel Pentium D based computer

• SuSe Linux 10.0

• wxWidgets version 2.8.6

• chmlib version 0.39

• xchm version 1.13
