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

Note to DESTDIR Fans

Unfortunately, this package ignores DESTDIR. However, we can pervert to our purposes the variable that it uses for prefix. The installation commands thus become:

make INSTALL=/usr<DESTDIR>

and

make INSTALL=/usr<DESTDIR> \
  DOCDIR=<DESTDIR>/usr/share/doc/doxygen \
  install_docs

Additional Configuration Options

--english-only: Include support for English only.

--enable-langs list: Include support for output languages listed in list. [default: nl,se,cz,fr,id,it,de,jp,je,es,fi,ru,hr,pl,pt,hu,kr,ke,ro,si,cn,no,br,dk,sk,ua,gr,tw,sr,ca,lt,za,ar,fa]

--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 makes it so that it uses src/unistd.h instead of the version installed on your system. To avoid this, we remove src/unistd.h. Since this fixes a problem with the building of Doxygen's GUI front-end, you don't really need to do this if you're not building the GUI front-end (by using the flag --with-doxywizard), but it doesn't hurt.

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

Contents

Installed Programs: doxygen, doxytag, and optionally, doxywizard
Installed Libraries: None
Installed Directories: /usr/share/doc/doxygen

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.
