Bug Description
Hi,
If I search with KDE help I get the following output:
khc_htsearch.pl --docbook --indexdir=
As you can see it uses en as prefix but it should use de (because my kde is localized for german). This bug also occurs if you create a new search index. It will only index documentation in the "en" directory.
Best regards
Cictani

Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from: Slackware Packages
Compiler: 3.3.6
OS: Linux
There are similar bug #103266 and #102912 but i wish to report it for the 3.5.1.
Anyway the problem is widespread in many distributions and i experience it on Slack 10.2 with KDE3.5.1.
The kde_application _manuals index building routine is utterly broken. It does not work either with
htdig 3.1.6 -- fails in the htmerge step
nor with
htdig 3.2.0b6. -- routine finishes with the errors described above and no usable index is built.
The first problem is that the htdig PATHs hardcoded (sic!) in the khc_docboodig.pl wrapper (called from khelpcenter) are "distro specific" at best (not to say absolutely bogus) and the script doesnt even honor sytem wide paths. Hardcoded assorted locales don't do much good either.
Other problem is that htdig local URL substitution appears to be broken or the use of it in this wrapper isn't appropriate (for either versions), the htdig 3.2.0b6 doesn't return any errors upstream, finishes correctly but increased verbosity revaeals errors such as previously described here
http:// bugs.kde. org/attachment. cgi?id= 11431&action= view
and the subsequent search doesn't return any results (although the index is reportedly built).
Maybe finaly fixing this (reports since 2003?) would be worth a the effort because it simply "Doesn't Work" (tm)
