fill_help_tables.sql ???

[Malcolm]

Hi,

I am wondering if anybody there can explain how the fill_help_tables.sql file is supposed to work. I have done a build from source, (not a binary distribution) and in looking at the tables set up when the database was initialized, all the help related fields are empty.

Quote: -- fill_help_tables.sql - this file is a placeholder to satisfy build dependencies -
-- it will be replaced with the appropriate content by the Boostrap script that
-- creates the official source distribution.

I have created and installed a source distribution, however this file is still just a placeholder. Can anybody there explain why this was not populated with the help info at build time. I also ran the make_binary_distribution script as well however it didn't work there either. Is there a way to run a script from within the source tree to populate this file so I can re-run mysql_create_system_tables to insert the help information into the tables.

Cheers,

Malcolm
