Chmhelp
This is a placeholder for the Lazarus chmhelp package (components/chmhelp).
The package is an external help server that communicates with the IDE over a socket. The CHM support is based on FPC package chm.
Recompiling and configuring the help should do the trick. Read the file components/chmhelp/README.txt.
The documentation files rtl.chm and fcl.chm can be downloaded in a chm.zip file from [1].
Lazarus IDE help
The problem with the IDE help is that it is in some wiki format, which is not available as an archive, and with a structure that is only semi enforced by the users.
There is a tool wikihelp in lazarus-ccr that should be able to download and relink the wiki for offline use (which then could be transformed into a meagre quality but working chm), but the tool no longer works when I tried. Either I did something stupid, or something in the wiki engine/apache has been upgraded and no longer allows bulk downloads.
Wikihelp:
- original home: http://wiki.ullihome.de/index.php/WikiHelp-Download/de
- lazarus-ccr location : applications/wikihelp (requires synapse)
