Description soldatov 2006-11-28 13:05:29 UTC
- Create C/C++ project
- Open 'Project Properties' window
- Go to 'C/C++|GNU C Compiler|General' or 'C/C++|GNU C++ Compiler|General' category
- Select 'Include Directories' property and press on '...' button
- Press on 'Help' button in 'Include Directories' window
==>
I see in 'Help' window:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Runtime Search Directories Dialog Box
To specify the directories that you want the linker to search for runtime files:
Click Add Directory.
In the Select Directory browser, navigate to the directory and click Select.
In the Runtime Search Directories dialog box, click OK.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But It is help for other window.
Comment 1 _ gordonp 2006-11-28 15:34:22 UTC
The way the project system is currently designed, 3 different popups
share the same help topic. There are 2 ways this issue can be fixed.

First, the help topic could be generalized, mostly be removing the
title. All 3 dialogs perform the same action (choosing a directory),
have the same components, and are operated the same way. The only
difference (as I remember it) are the titles.

Alternately, the component posted by the 3 popups could be replicated
3 times so it used different help topics. Since the same component is
currently used 3 times, you can't currently do this.

Because I made this change less than 2 hours before code freeze, I
wasn't about to change code I wasn't particularly familiar with!

It seems to be fixed in nb6.0
Comment 3 soldatov 2008-02-27 10:14:19 UTC
No, bug is not fixed. Yes, 'Include Directories' window calls correct article, but now 'Preprocessor Definitions'
returns wrong article.
Comment 4 Thomas Preisler 2008-09-19 06:03:39 UTC
Yes, and there doesn't seem to be a help topic for the 'Preprocessor Definitions' window. Will re-assign to Ann and I will fix it as soon as there is a help 
page to display.
Comment 5 Ann Rice 2008-09-23 00:20:14 UTC
I have added the help topic for the Preprocessor Definitions dialog box. The help id is preprocessor-definitions.
