GNOME 2 compatible API documentation browser software.
To install Devhelp, one can follow some simple steps. Begin by “cd”ing to the directory that contains the package’s source code, and type “./configure” to configure the package per the system requirements. If you’re using “csh” on an older version of System V, then in that case, type “sh ./configure” instead to stop “csh” from trying to execute “configure” itself. The configuration process might take some time during which it will print certain messages indicating the various features it is checking for.
Once the configuration process is complete, type “make” to compile the package. After that, if you want, you can run any self-tests that come with the package using “make check”. Then type “make install” to install the programs and any data files and documentation. To remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, use “make clean”. To remove the files created by the “configure” process (so that you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), use “make distclean”. For developers, the “make maintainer-clean” target is also available, but it is mainly designed for the developers working on the package.
Overall, Devhelp is a brilliant software that makes life easy for developers who dive deep into the API documentation. It offers comprehensive compatibility with gtk-doc, providing them an efficient way to navigate through their projects documentation. The installation process is a bit time-consuming, but it’s a one-time investment that will definitely pay off in the long run.
