Bugzilla Bug 32298

I installed audacity 1.1.3.  When I run it and attempt to access the help or
help index I get a file dialog box asking me to locate audacity help.  Slocate
- audacity does not show any help files on the system at all.

Has anyone looked at this?  I have the same problem.  The ebuild is supposed to
build audacity-help.htb but it doesn't.  I built audacity manually with the
--with-help option to see what the issue might be, but without success. 
There's a rule in the makefile to build the help, but it bombs, even after a
full build.

# make audacity-help.htb
make: *** No rule to make target `help/wxhelp/*', needed by
`audacity-help.htb'.  Stop.

audacity is such an elegant piece of work that it's a shame that the help file
is missing.

It looks as if audacity 1.1.3 is rather an interim version.  The stable version
is 1.0.0 and CVS is up to 1.2.0-pre4.  Both of these have the helpfiles in the
source tarball but 1.1.3 does not, if the gentoo source is the same as the
upsteam source.  There are other bugs (the docking toolbars dissapear when one
undocks them).  1.2.0-pre4 has bugs in the configure scripts at this moment,
but the source root makefile can be used to build the help docs for either
1.0.0 or 1.2.0-pre4.

A temporary workaround for this problem might be to extract the help file tree
from 1.0.0 and apply it to 1.1.3 as a patch.  Alternatively, gentoo devs might
wait until the upstream devs have their versions of autoconf straightened out
and use 1.2.0, which I got to compile with a little finagling and which looks
very nice! (the docking toolbars work).

End users wanting audicity-help.htb can get the v.1.0.0 tarball from
sourceforge, build the help file and manually copy it to any convenient
location such as /usr/share/doc/audacity.
