Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Win32: The best way to solve dependencies for user-guide.chm
However for unix the real issue is to have the html files been built.
I thought about parameterized Makefile.am and a catalog.xml.in that
overwrite both files from the repo (used by cygwin) if --with-fop=xxx
--with-docbook=yyy options are passed to ./configure. What the
--with-fop option should look for is fop, xlstproc and xmllint, the
other one locates the dtds.

The problem is to generate the .html files, as this can be a bit tricky ;-)

Missunderstanding. KDE and/or GNOME uses similar (namely HTML based) mechanisms to show help. But they don't use .chm files - the .chm file format is Win32 only AFAIK - so having .chm files is pretty useless on UNIX.
In fact I don't know the details what KDE/GNOME would need to show help in their "native help" mechanisms. I'll leave it as an excercise for the interested reader ;-)
