What is here wrong:
Code: Select all
OpenHelp(Grundpfad+"Help/WorldCreator_Help.chm","Index.htm")
In windows there is no problem, but in mac it does not work.

Hello cajomi,
just an idea: could it be that 'Grundpfad' doesn't contain the backslash '/' at the end?

Vera is right. However, I've always found PureBasic to be rather consistent at providing paths with a trailing slash.

A backslash for "/" Help does not work.
What else can it be?

OpenHelp doesn't support .chm on OS X, it needs to be the native OS X help format.

I had a similar issue but wanted the Mac edition of my program to have a Help that looked like the Windows one, rather than the native Mac style. I also wanted to re-use the same HTML files as in the chm, as it's a big set.
Of course the PureBasic IDE does this beautifully! So I wrote my own module, with similar appearance to the PureBasic help and working from the same kind of XML files to give chm-style contents and index (hope Fred doesn't mind!). It works well for me.
It's part of a large project, but if anyone's interested I can post some code.
