[Doxygen-users] Doxywizard won't compile (RHEL6)

[Saner D. <dan...@in...>]

Hi all,

for the past two days I've been unsuccessfully trying to compile Doxygen with the Doxywizard GUI on my RHEL 6 machine. The latest version of Doxygen offered by official RH repositories is almost 5 years old, which won't do, and as the binary package doesn't include Doxywizard, compilation is my only option. I'm not a Linux software compilation and installation wizard (obviously).

The configure script runs through without errors, including successful detection of Qt 5.3.0 libraries. I also tried forcing the platform from the autodetected linux-g++ to linux-64, as I have the 64-bit version of Qt 5.3.0 installed, to no effect. Compilation using make also runs through without errors, but towards the end, when it would be doxywizard's turn to compile, I get the following output:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/daniel/Downloads/doxygen/addon/doxywizard'
gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `first'.
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/Downloads/doxygen/addon/doxywizard'
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/Downloads/doxygen/addon/doxywizard'

The Makefile.doxywizard file in the addon/doxywizard subdirectory looks fine to my inexperienced eyes (it's not empty or anything), but I simply cannot get it to actually compile anything. Hence, of course, a subsequent make install fails as it cannot find the doxywizard binary.

I tried both the current source tarball from the website, as well as a direct Git repository clone, but both fail to do anything at all about actually trying to compile doxywizard. How can I get this thing built?

Thanks
Daniel

To avoid the obvious: where did you look for the doxywizard binary? 
it should be generated in ../../bin (relative to the doxywizard source dir, where also the doxygen binary resides).

So far I never tried to compile doxygen with Qt5, only Qt4, so this might be a problem as well.

Hello,

Yes, that's where I looked. The 'doxygen' binary is generated fine and shows up in the 'bin' directory, but nothing else is built.

Thanks for the Qt 4 hint! I compiled Qt 4.8.2 (through great nuisance and expenditure of time I might add, haha) and pointed Doxygen's build configuration to it instead of Qt 5.3.0. Now the doxywizard binary is built fine! Interestingly, I still get the same "Nothing to be done for 'first'" message from gmake towards the end of the build process, from within the doxywizard directory. But I guess the binary is already being built somewhere earlier in the process.

So I'm fine now with a working Doxygen including GUI, thanks again for your help!
If I can help figuring out the issue when building with Qt 5.3.0, such as supplying logs of my failed build attempts, let me know.

Cheers
Daniel
