Create the Project (.hhp file) 

Note the following reference on the format

[OPTIONS]
Title=CHM
Default topic=file1.htm
Compiled file=chm.chm
Index file=index.htm

[FILES]
index.htm
file1.htm
Compile
chmcmd project.hhp

This will produce project.chm.

On Linux, you may need libchm or chmcmd compiled with support for it.
