Introduction to Doxygen
Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors) and to some extent PHP, C#, and D.
It can generate an on-line documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in LATEX) from a set of documented source files. There is also support for generating output in RTF (MS-Word), PostScript, hyperlinked PDF, compressed HTML, and Unix man pages. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it much easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code.
You can configure doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files. This is very useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions. You can also visualize the relations between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated automatically.

Dependencies
Optional
Additional Configuration Options
--with-doxywizard: If Qt is installed, you can use this flag to cause Doxygen's GUI front-end to be built.
Non-Multilib
Compile the package:
rm src/unistd.h && ./configure --prefix /usr --docdir /usr/share/doc && make
Install the package
make install
If you wish to generate and install the package documentation (note that man pages have already been installed), you must have Python, teTeX (for HTML docs) and Ghostscript (for PDF docs) installed, then issue the following command:
make install_docs
Command Explanations
rm src/unistd.h: Flex-2.5.33 has a bug that causes make to use this file instead of the system installed version. Removing this file allows the GUI front-end to build successfully. This command is not required if you don't pass the --with-doxywizard parameter (but won't affect the build otherwise).
Multilib
This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.
32Bit
Compile the package:
rm src/unistd.h && ./configure --prefix /usr --docdir /usr/share/doc && make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}"
Install the package
make install
If you wish to generate and install the package documentation (note that man pages have already been installed), you must have Python, teTeX (for HTML docs) and Ghostscript (for PDF docs) installed, then issue the following command:
make install_docs
N32
Compile the package:
rm src/unistd.h && ./configure --prefix /usr --docdir /usr/share/doc && make CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}"
Install the package
make install
If you wish to generate and install the package documentation (note that man pages have already been installed), you must have Python, teTeX (for HTML docs) and Ghostscript (for PDF docs) installed, then issue the following command:
make install_docs
64Bit
Compile the package:
rm src/unistd.h && ./configure --prefix /usr --docdir /usr/share/doc && make CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}"
Install the package
make install
If you wish to generate and install the package documentation (note that man pages have already been installed), you must have Python, teTeX (for HTML docs) and Ghostscript (for PDF docs) installed, then issue the following command:
make install_docs

Short Descriptions
doxygen | is a command-line based utility used to generate template configuration files and then generate documentation from these templates. Use doxygen --help for an explanation of the command-line parameters. |
---|---|
doxytag | is used to generate a tag file and/or a search index for a set of HTML files. |
doxywizard | is a GUI front-end for configuring and running doxygen. |
