    <title>Introduction to Doxygen</title>

    <para>The <application>Doxygen</application> package contains a
    documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Corba IDL and to some
    extent PHP, C# and D. This is useful for generating HTML documentation
    and/or an off-line reference manual from a set of documented source files.
    There is also support for generating output in RTF, 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.</para>

    <para>You can also configure <application>Doxygen</application> to extract
    the code structure from undocumented source files. This is very useful to
    quickly find your way in large source distributions. Used along with
    <application>Graphviz</application>, 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.</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix /usr \

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you wish to generate and install the package documentation

    <application>Python</application>, <application>teTeX</application> or
    <application>TeX Live</application> (for HTML docs) and

    <title>Configuring Doxygen</title>

    <para>There is no real configuration necessary for the
    <application>Doxygen</application> package although three additional
    packages are required if you wish to use extended capabilities. If you
    need to use the language translation features, you must have
    <xref linkend="python"/> installed. If you require formulas to
    create PDF documentation, then you must have <xref linkend="tetex"/> or
    <xref linkend="texlive"/> installed. If you require formulas to convert
    PostScript files to bitmaps, then you must have <xref linkend="gs"/>
    <!-- or <xref linkend="espgs"/> --> installed.</para>
