A silly C program example to demonstrate doxygen

• Doxygen
• GraphViz (dot) [optionally]
• make [on *nix]

If generating PDFs:

• PDF-LaTeX (I use MikTex). This may ask for permission, and install sub packages during a make operation
• Ghostscript

• To generate doxygen documentation run:

doxygen ./doxygen/Doxyfile

Generate HTML will be located in the location specified by the Doxyfile, in this case ./doxygen/documentation/html.

• If also generating a PDF, an extra step is required. this can take a long time, especially on large projects:

  • On Windows:

  > ./doxygen/documentation/latex/make.bat
  

  • On *nix:

  $ make all -C ./doxygen/documentation/latex/
  

The resulting PDF is named refman.pdf and is placed in the latex directory.
