[Doxygen-develop] New Doxygen modder - How to build? (VS2002)

[Daniel S. <dig...@ho...>]

Hi everyone.

I have been using Doxygen for about a year (at first as an imposed 
programming class requirement) and now have started getting 
interested/involved in a few OSS projects.

In my latest one, I wanted to integrate the News Archive as a Doxygen imput 
file - I do not really want to start messing with HTML myself - and I ran 
into two simple limitations that I would like to fix:
1- Be able to have links within page/section/etc titles - should be almost 
as simple as parsing titles like normal text.
2- Prevent the extra pages from showing up in the Related Pages page - 
possibly by adding a "@norelatedpage" special command to add a flag telling 
the Related Pages generator to ignore that page.

For what I am trying to do, these two simple little features would go a long 
way.

Those two changes/features are most likely nearly trivial to implement and I 
would be happy to implement them myself... if I could manage to build the 
stock Doxygen with VS2002. When I try to build it, there is a dozen 
(exactly) missing files. Some of those are nowhere to be found (like 
Doxygen's version.cpp that should contain versionString="1.3.3")  but most 
have CPP-ish looking '.l' files I do not quite know what I am supposed to do 
with. I am guessing that there are a few preliminary steps and probably 
extra tools required.

I have looked around the directories and Doxygen's site but could not find 
anything that looked like an "How to build" file. So, besides making an 
implicit feature request (that I may very likely end up implementing), could 
anyone give me some how-to-build Doxygen with VS2002 tips&pointers?

[... I could build on my LinBox... but all my current projects are Win32 so 
having to switch between two computers all the time would be inconvenient 
and much slower since LinBox is a P233MMX so I'd rather use that as a last 
resort if getting Doxygen to compile with VS2002 looks like too much 
hassle... do my mod on LinBox, submit the changes for inclusion in the next 
CVS and then wait for the next Win32 build... I could also live with that.]
