Re: [Doxygen-users] Missing "refman" tex file for PDF output generation

[Smigielski, R. L (Robert) <Rob...@ls...>]

I have had problems where Doxygen tool cannot generate the refman output file due to an error. I found that I could reduce the set of input files to a smaller and smaller set until it could produce the refman file and then the PDF from that. That can point you to a file that is the root of the problem. A few years ago, on two files from the same developer I had non-printable non visible characters in the *.h file that somehow broke the Doxygen build process. Once I got to the point that a single file had the problem I ran a diff on the file against the previous version(s) and eventually found the non-printable characters in the file. I deleted those and the problem was resolved.
Hope this helps.

Anyone?
I really need to generate a pdf documentation but, without any error messages and help from here, It will be almost impossible for me, unfortunately...

PS.: My doxy file flags relative to Latex/PDF Generation

GENERATE_LATEX         = YES
USE_PDFLATEX           = YES

Hi all!

I'm trying to generate a PDF documentation of our project here.
What is going wrong is that when Latex output is generated, no "refman.tex" file is generated.
Apparently there were no errors on doxygen log (only warnings).

This is the doxygen log: http://justpaste.it/dnt7

and after a "make pdf" command, I get the following:
c:\SIGA\trunk\docs\doxygen\latex>pdflatex refman
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9)
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `refman'.
<*> refman

pdflatex couldn't find 'refman' because it doesn't exist. Doxygen couldn't generate it for some mysterious reason I don't know why.

Any clues about that?

Thanks in advance,
Hugo Benício.
