I just created a deb file available from:
http://rapidshare.de/files/26020195/kchm-0.6.5_0.6.5-1_i386.deb.html

hopefully this will help someone with easier package management for removal etc.
thanks,
jonny

YESS! FreeBSD has not any errors when build KChm 0.3.2. Also great extension with interface features :-) But icon and .desktop file for kchm binary still missed...Excellent work. Keep it with this speed. KDE really need this app.

in HELP->About menu, KChm shows 0.1 version.

KDE definitely needs KCHM, though konqueror can show .chm files embedded. But an external application like KChm is a good thing for KDE.

I wish this be part of KDE 4. :)

Can you use the ~/.kde/share/config/khtmlrc for khtml settings so we can have same setup as konqueror like no underlined links.

Thanks,

I have noticed, when I creating FreeBSD port, that kchm creates two subdirs in /share/apps - share/apps/kchm and share/apps/chmnew. Is it normal or misorder?

It's normal. One for application, one for kpart.

O,yes, really rapid reaction on bug report :-) I have compiled quite without problems, __LITTLE_ENDIAN was undefined at two times. I suppose this patch to solve problems:

--- chmxx.h Tue Mar 15 22:25:29 2005
+++ chmxx.h.new Wed Mar 16 17:21:59 2005
@@ -16,9 +16,11 @@

#if BYTE_ORDER == LITTLE_ENDIAN
#warning: here
- #define __BYTE_ORDER __LITTLE_ENDIAN
+ #define __BYTE_ORDER BYTE_ORDER
+ #define __LITTLE_ENDIAN LITTLE_ENDIAN
#elif BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN
- #define __BYTE_ORDER __BIG_ENDIAN
+ #define __BYTE_ORDER BYTE_ORDER
+ #define __BIG_ENDIAN BIG_ENDIAN
#else
#error: define proper byte order
#endif

All another are OK. A some wishlist:
1. An icon and menu entry ( I think, in "Utilites" category)
2. "Open file" on toolbar
3. When file was opened, auto-expand first level of content (or make a preference - start expanded / start collapsed)
Please keep your work! It is very needful!

I'am aware of this problem. It's a bug in libchm++, which I use for data extraction. I fixed this bug, and soon I upload a new version of kchm.

I have no problems with it.
I used the newest version: www.php.net/distributions/manual/php_manual_en.chm

ok... :)

now it works fine.
I believe that the problem is with my file chm. My old file has 3,4mb, but it works fine with xchm.

ps. English is not my natural language.

Please, detect OS, because FreeBSD has not __BYTE_ORDER and similar, but has BYTE_ORDER instead.

O, YESSS! At least! It's a cool! It's a super-cool! It's a super-puper-mega-bla-bla-bla cool! :-) I have so many really good books in .CHM format. Now I haven't more need M$ to read it! Some warnings about compilation under FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (KDE 3.3.2, QT 3.3.4):
1. FreeBSD has not __off64_t, please place it inside CHM_USE_IO64 #ifdef's
2. FreeBSD has not pread64 (and any other similar, i.e. lseek64), please detect OS or switch off CHM_USE_IO64 by default.
3. Viewer binary file has name chm, not kchm, as expected :-)

Please, keep this project actual! It is really VERY useful program! (So many exclamations...:-) I simply excited - so, my dreams are in real now...). I'll make FreeBSD port for it.
