>Description:
Gnumeric uses the wrong path to load the help documentation. As a
result yelp displays a file not found error.
Why: the gnomehack target adjusts the $(docdir) make variable in
${WRKSRC}/doc/C/Makefile.in. The makefile suggests that it's OK
to change this variable, but the routine that invokes yelp is not
compliant with the new value.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run gnumeric, chose Help -> Contents. Observe error.
>Fix:
The following patch adds a sed command to the post-pach target to
invoke yelp with the correct path.
This problem should probably be fixed upstream as well - there are
some assumptions made about the location of the help documentation
that are not consistent with what is suggested in the doc Makefile.
I think this would involve obeying the --with-help-dir configure
option. If I get some feedback in agreement, I'll try to submit
a patch for it.
