Description Chris Mayo 2012-01-07 16:52:46 UTC
In mmg pressing F1 gives:
"""
The mkvmerge GUI help file was not found. This indicates that it has never before been opened, or that the installation path has since been changed.

Please select the location of the 'mkvmerge-gui.hhp' file.
"""

$ ls /usr/share/doc/mkvtoolnix*
/usr/share/doc/mkvtoolnix:
guide

/usr/share/doc/mkvtoolnix-5.0.1:

media-video/mkvtoolnix-5.0.1 is installing two directories in /usr/share/doc and compressing the help files in /usr/share/doc/mkvtoolnix/guide.


Fixed for me by adding to econf:
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/${PF}

and to src_install():
docompress -x /usr/share/doc/${PF}/guide

Fixed in CVS.
