Qt5 reference documentation: qch files
Solution 1
Open Assistant
(5.0.1/gcc/bin/assistant
) and then go to Edit
-> Preferences
menu.
There's a Documentation
tab. If the list is empty, add the .qch
files found in the 5.0.1/gcc/doc/
directory.
This is how it looks. This is Ubuntu 12.10 as well.
Qt 5.0.1 installed with the qt-linux-opensource-5.0.1-x86-offline.run
package (388Mb).
Solution 2
Yes, the official Ubuntu-documentation for Qt5 is very incomplete. You don't have information about nearly any class.
If you want to use the QtCreator/QtAssistant build from Ubuntu you have to acquire the docs yourself. I did and uploaded these on my personal Mega-account. Here are the docs. I installed the Qt framework with the installer from qt-project.org, grabbed the documentation and inserted it into the software-center-version.
I don't use QtAssistant as a stand-alone program but integrated in QtCreator. To add the docs to QtCreator go to Tools>Options>Help>Documentation and click add. Then select all .qch files, click apply and enjoy. Maybe try the way as mentioned above.

I want to view Qt reference documentation inside QtAssistant, but the installation of Qt5 did not come with .qch documentation files for Qt libraries.
I have tried to find them on the http://qt-project.org but could not find them anywhere. How do I get the Qt5 documentation files ?
I am using Ubuntu 12.10, I have installed the new qt-library sdk from the qt-project website.

hyde over 11 yearsTelling what OS you have might be relevant. As a solution, you could get source package and build the docs from that...
