Wrong path for help files in sclang-help.el #12

Environment

  • SuperCollider version: 3.10.3
  • Emacs version: 26.2
  • Operating systems: macOS 10.14

Steps to reproduce

  1. Installation via instructions in readme
  2. Use non-gui help commands, for instance M-x sclang-find-help

Expected vs. actual behavior

Help commands are expected to open locally installed help files with w3m. Instead, the following error message is displayed in the minibuffer:

SClang: No help for "Help"

It appears that the culprit is the following symbol definition in sclang-help.el:

(defcustom sclang-help-path (list sclang-system-help-dir
				  "~/.local/share/SuperCollider/Help")
  "*List of directories where SuperCollider help files are kept."
  :group 'sclang-interface
  :version "21.4"
  :type '(repeat directory))

Changing the path in this definition to "~/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Help" appears to resolve the issue.

+1 facing this issue.
The defcustom change did not resolve the issue for me.

ran sc-index-help-topics and I can see the helpfiles now.

Maybe this is part of the steps that should be improved/added to #22
