I have created a new edm widget by following the "Creating edm widgets" document. I have it mostly working and would like to add online help for it. I see that I could modify the helpObjects.edl file in the edm distribution. I wonder if there is a way to add help without modifying any files in the edm package? What is the best or correct way to add online help for new widget?
Thanks,
Zen
Hi Zen,

The "helpObjects.edl" should actually be installed outside of the source distribution and its loication defined by
the "EDMHELPFILES" environment variable.


One way to have the helpFiles be automatically installed with the EPICS Make system is to introduce Makefile and rules
to $EXTENSIONS_TOP/src/edm/helpFiles. The same kind of thing should could be done for other things such as colors.list, etc...


Currently, things get setup in $EXTENSIONS_TOP/src/edm/setup/setup.sh. Take a look at that script.


Thanks, Ernest
