Re: [Doxygen-develop] Interest in new XML format for Doxygen export

[Dimitri v. H. <do...@gm...>]

Hi Jason,

I'm interested in what you have been working on, so please tell us more
about it.

Building doxygen should not be a significant problem:
Doxygen does build with Studio 2005 (even with the free (as in beer) express
version),
or with cygwin (or mingw), so it should not be a problem to get that working
on your system.
If you have a patch against 1.5.1 that may already be useful.

Regards,
  Dimitri
