Ah, I have finally understood your problems. I thought that these files
were needed for online/wiki help.


Hmm, I have had similar problem already in LO-3.4. I have solved it by
the following hack:

1. During build of the main package:

# hack to add icons for helpcontent that is build separately 
(
    . ./*Env.Set.sh
    mkdir -p $SOLARVER/$INPATH/res/img
    perl helpcontent2/helpers/create_ilst.pl
-dir=default_images/res/helpimg >$SOLARVER/$INPATH/res/img/helpimg.ilst
)



2. during installation of the main package:

################ 
# common helpcontent files 
# create symlinks to /usr/share for noarch help packages 
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%lo_prefix/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%_datadir/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help
echo "%dir %lo_prefix/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help"
>>file-lists/common_list.txt
echo "%dir %_datadir/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help"
>>file-lists/common_list.txt
for file in idxcaption.xsl idxcontent.xsl main_transform.xsl ; do
    install -m 644 solver/*/unxlng*.pro/bin/$file $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%
lo_prefix/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help
    ln -sf %lo_prefix/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help/$file
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%_datadir/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help
    echo "%lo_prefix/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help/$file"
>>file-lists/common_list.txt
    echo "%_datadir/%lo_home/%lo_basis_dir/help/$file"
>>file-lists/common_list.txt
done


You might either use similar hacks in your build script.

Or even better would be to add extra option --enable-common-help-files
or so and make sure that helpcontent2/helpers/create_ilst.pl is called
during normal build and that the files are installer. You need to modify
scp2 to fix the installation.
