mate on current : help location not supported
 

I build Mate 1.12 using the zip from https://github.com/mateslackbuilds/m...14.1-mate-1.12 on Slack64 Current Multilib with success. One only needs to remove the deps that are in Current already and add a "--no-check-certificate" argument to some wget's.
Clicking Help > Contents in e.g. Caja provokes a popup reading "There was an error displaying help: The specified location is not supported". I can live with this, but I also noted this with the Mate version of AlienBob's Slackware Live Edition 0.4.0. Hence this report.
:D

Hi

you should take the zip from master branch instead of from branch that is specifically used for building packages for 14.1

help is disabled since it requires yelp, which requires webkitgtk and webkitgtk takes a long time to build. You can have a look on testing directory where i put yelp SlackBuild if you want to build one assuming you have webkitgtk installed.

AlienBOB's MATE is also built from master branch, so it will have the same issue :)

I see the imediate return value of a Live ISO for testing purposes :-)

Well, slacky.eu has a webkitgtk package. Actually there are two: an old one under "network" and a somewhat newer one under "libraries".
For a quick and dirty test of Midori for Parted Magic I used the "network" one and things worked.
I will do a quick and dirty test for Mate with yelp and the "libraries" webkitgtk.
Stay tuned.
:D

I have yelp and webkitgtk installed at my desktop and it's working here

In fact, i enabled the help in GTK3 branch, but not yet in master branch

Is the GTK3 branch still experimental?
:D

Yeah, still too buggy for public usage, so i will keep building against GTK+2 for 14.2 until upstream says it's ready
