Let your Linux support the reading of CHM documents

for programmers, it's often important to look at some Reference Help documentation, but in the face of some old documents, and in the absence of network conditions, how to let your Linux support CHM document reading, then see below!

Method One:

simple way, in your Install extensions (add-on) on Firefox Firefox, search for a chmreader, select Install, restart Firefox browser.

to see *.chm simply perform at the terminal :

Firefox *.chm &

Advantages: Easy to install, see Pure English documents without pressure;

Cons: Poor compatibility, part of a lot of Chinese is not supported, such as my C language function Reference manual . CHM can only be partially displayed in Chinese;

method Two: Install Gnochm

First of all, my installation environment:

[[Email protected]]# lsb_release-a

Lsbversion:: core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64: Printing-4.0-noarch

Distributorid:redhatenterpriseserver

description:red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Release 6.2 (Santiago)

release:6.2

Codename:santiago

Linuxversion 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 ([email protected]) (Gccversion 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat 4.4.5-6) (GCC)) #1 SMP Wed Nov 9 08:03:13 EST2011

Installing Gnochm

1. Download gnochm 's original code pack

wget http://ncu.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gnochm/gnochm/0.9.11/gnochm-0.9.11.tar.gz

Tar zcvf gnochm-0.9.11.tar.gz

CD gnochm-0.9.11

Read First Readme

Can be known, there are two ways to install,

We use the source to install

Need the following several

This version depends on the package

REQUIREMENTS

-Pychm (or Python-chm) (>= 0.8.4)

-Python (>= 2.2.1)

Also, Python musthave gettext and locale modules

-Pygtk2 (>= 1.99.12)

-Pygtk2-libglade (>= 1.99.12)

-Gnome-python2 (>= 1.99.11)

-GNOME-PYTHON2-GTKHTML2 (>= 1.99.11)

-Gnome-python2-gconf (>= 1.99.11)

-Gnome-python2-bonobo (>= 1.99.11)

2. Download pychm

Pychm-0.8.4.tar.gz

Http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gnochm/pychm/0.8.4/pychm-0.8.4.tar.gz

other software packages can be found with Yum search .

Installation:

Yum install Python pygtk2pygtk2-libglade gnome-python2 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2 gnome-python2-gconf Gnome-python2-bonobo-y

Installing pychm-0.8.4.tar.gz

(the software is written in Python and Linux_c , as a smaller open source software, or more worth a look)

Tar zxvf pychm-0.8.4.tar.gz

CD pychm-0.8.4

Python setup.py Install

you will be prompted chm/swig_chm.c:681:21:error:chm_lib.h:no such file or directory , and so on many lines of error;

Read Readme

See To install Chmlib, and provide

Http://66.93.236.84/~jedwin/projects/chmlib(unfortunately the link has expired)

Google The following address is the RPM package

http://pkgs.repoforge.org/chmlib/

You can see the following two packages

chmlib-0.40-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm 11-nov-2010 07:30 49K RHEL6 and CentOS-6 x86 64bit

chmlib-devel-0.40-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm 11-nov-2010 07:30 12K RHEL6 and CentOS-6 x86 64bit

Installing Chmlib

Execute again

Python setup.py Install

There are still problems:

Chm/swig_chm.c:13:20:error: Python.h: No such file or directory

so think about the next ~ ~ found that the list of dependent packages given is definitely worse, so view Python finds a problem

not loaded . Python-devel

so install python-devel-2.6.6-29.el6.x86_64.rpm

Execute python setup.py install again

can see success information:Creating/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/chm

to gnochm-0.9.11 again .

./configure

Make

Su-

Makeinstall

Finally, the execution gnochm can be installed successfully.

Gnochm. /.. /C Language function Reference manual . CHM

(you can see the Firefox installs the extension (add-on) the chmreader to the Chinese support to be better! )

PS: There may be some font problems, the other README is very clear

Chinesecharacters is not displayed properly!

Thereare issues is involved in the problem, but first, make sure

You rungnochm with the "-D" flag and has a look in ~/.gnochm/gnochm.log

To seethat at least one of the ' encoding ' or ' LCID ' in your Fileare

Correct. Some dodgy chms do not has proper encodings in them.

If theencoding is correct and then:

1) thecontents pane does not show the proper characters

-Try Installing the Cjkpython support Forchinese located in

Http://cjkpython.i18n.org.

2) thehtml window shows some rubbish!

Specific questions, look at the log!
