[Doxygen-users] Tagfiles across network drives

[Stephen G. <Ste...@me...>]

I'm working on setting up Doxygen to run on our build machines every time we compile one of our projects, and one of the requirements I have to work around is moving all of our Doxygen output files to a shared network drive location that all users have access to. Most of the Doxygen generation works fine in this regard, however I am having a difficult time trying to understand how to link up a tagfile generated from our main engine in each of our various projects. I can get it to work fine when they are located on the same drive:

TAGFILES = "/SSIIIDocs/DoxygenFiles/$(ENGINE_NAME)/SharedSource/sharedsource.tag = /SSIIIDocs/DoxygenFiles/$(ENGINE_NAME)/SharedSource "

However no matter what I've tried to specify a network location it fails to find it. My most recent attempt is this:

TAGFILES  = \\networkDrive\SSIIIDocs\DoxygenFiles\$(ENGINE_NAME)\SharedSource\sharedsource.tag = \\networkDrive \SSIIIDocs\DoxygenFiles\$(ENGINE_NAME)\SharedSource

Am I missing something on how to properly set this up or is it not possible to link to a tagfile located on a network drive at the time of generation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doxygen doesn't work well with UNC style paths (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_%28computing%29#UNC_in_Windows).
The best solution is to map the path to a drive letter first.
