Re: [Doxygen-users] Unknown Error

Thanks;

 

I've ignored common sense and relied on the cygwin release instead of going
to sourceforge.net or doxygen.org.

Well, I?ve given this some thought. Dmitri said that there are path issues
when doxygen is compiled for unix and graphviz is compiled for Windows. That
is (sigh and unfortunately) my issue. So, I am using Graphviz 2.30 for
windows and doxygen 1.8.6 for cygwin. The paths are different, in
particular, the paths used by doxygen are absolute (/cygdrive/?) and
graphviz expects something like ?C:/?. I don?t think that using backward
slashes or forward slashes is an issue any more. The Windows gods seem to
have given in to the inevitable and accepted forward slashes in paths.

 

Internally, Windows (and MS-DOS) has always accepted forward slashes in
paths. The problem is that CMD.EXE (and COMMAND.COM before it) uses forward
slash as an option introducer. As long as you can hide the slashes from
CMD.EXE, that won't be an issue.

CygWin vs Windows absolute path formats is a different issue. There are
works-around, but easiest to just get a Windows build of Doxygen from the
Doxygen website.

 

Anyone know where I can get  a cygwin graphviz or a Windows doxygen?

 

The Doxygen website has Windows builds of Doxygen.

PS, I started programming at the age of 5, so I'm not as ancient as this
post might make me seem.
