Steps for including Gramps' API into devhelp index.

Gramps and Gtk3 APIs into devhelp browser

Devhelp

Devhelp is a Gtk+/Gnome browser for API documentation; it works natively with gtk-doc (which is the API reference format for Gtk+/Gnome documentation).

Paths

According base directories from freedesktop, the working patchs should be:

  • devhelp

~/.local/share/devhelp/books/gramps/gramps.devhelp

/usr/local/share/devhelp/books/gramps/gramps.devhelp

  • gtk-doc

/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gramps/gramps.devhelp

Steps

1. Go to Gramps_SVN/docs folder

2. modifiy 'update_doc.py' for generating a devhelp file via 'devhelp' key for builder:

$ sphinx-build -b devhelp .  _build/devhelp

could be:

$ os.system(' ' '%(program)s -b devhelp . _build/devhelp' ' ' % {'program': sphinxCmd})

in python.

3. run 'update_doc.py':

eg,

$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:/home/jerome/trunk python update_doc.py 
path for ppygobject 3.3.2: path to gramps dir

4. copy the content of _build/devhelp directory into one of the above paths for devhelp index.

5. run a command (which one?) or wait for the next post installation (rebuild of indexes after new package)
