<title>Introduction to <application>Doxygen</application></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 <acronym>HTML</acronym> documentation 
and/or an off-line reference manual from a set of documented source files. 
There is also support for generating output in <acronym>RTF</acronym>, 
PostScript, hyperlinked <acronym>PDF</acronym>, compressed 
<acronym>HTML</acronym>, 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>

<title>Installation of <application>Doxygen</application></title>

<para>Install <application>Doxygen</application> by running the following 
commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>rm src/unistd.h &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix /usr --docdir /usr/share/doc &amp;&amp;
make</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install</command></userinput></screen>

<para>If you wish to generate and install the package documentation, ensure 
the Python, TeX and Graphviz packages are installed, then substitute the 
following commands for the <command>make install</command> command above:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make docs &amp;&amp;
make pdf &amp;&amp;
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/doxygen/src &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 src/translator{,_adapter,_en}.h \
    /usr/share/doc/doxygen/src &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 VERSION /usr/share/doc/doxygen &amp;&amp;
make install_docs</command></userinput></screen>

<title>Command explanations</title>

<para><command>rm src/unistd.h</command>: There is a bug in 
<application>Flex</application>-2.5.31 which causes <command>make</command> to 
use this file instead of the system installed version. Removing this file 
allows the <acronym>GUI</acronym> front-end to build successfully.</para>

<para><option>--with-doxywizard</option>: Use this parameter if 
<application>Qt</application> is installed and you wish to build the 
<acronym>GUI</acronym> front-end.</para>

<para><command>make docs</command>: This command builds the 
<acronym>HTML</acronym> documentation.</para>

<para><command>make pdf</command>: This command builds a 
<acronym>PDF</acronym> version of the <application>Doxygen</application> 
Manual.</para>

<para><command>install ...</command>: These commands install some files 
required by the documentation installation.</para>

<para><emphasis>Note: For documentation in a language other than English, 
replace the <quote>_en</quote> with the country code of your 
locale.</emphasis></para>

<para><command>make install_docs</command>: This command installs the binaries 
and documentation.</para>
