Hi Pierre,

You should set SHORT_NAMES to NO, as I was trying to suggest.
Doxygen makes local links, so I guess your browser "invented" the file:///D:/.../html/ 
  stuff, it
is not there in the actual HTML files.
The link anchor is based on the function prototype, as long as that  
stays the same, the
anchor will stay the same as well.
