Ahhh, the tagfile discussion - again ;-)

Glenn, I think his SYNTAX is quite right BUT he may have problems
with absolute/relative paths, depending where he calls doxygen and
where he has the configuration file located.

Marcus, here is my answer from a thread Glenn and I had some time ago.
Try to adapt the path as shown in my example, then it should work.

And I thought I'm doing exactly this without needing step 3) ;-)

I have a library at:

~/src/boblib/*.cpp *.hpp
~/src/boblib/doc/doxygen.cfg

I have a library at:

~/src/flclib/*.cpp *.hpp
~/src/flclib/doc/doxygen.cfg

And a program that uses that libraries at:

~/src/flcman/*.cpp *.hpp
~/src/flcman/doc/doxygen.cfg

What I do is:

1) I create the documentation and tagfile for boblib in
~/src/boblib/doc/boblib.tag
~/src/boblib/doc/html/
thru running doxygen doxygen.cfg in
~/src/boblib/doc

2) I create the documentation and tagfile for flclib in
~/src/flclib/doc/boblib.tag
~/src/flclib/doc/html/
thru running doxygen doxygen.cfg in
~/src/flclib/doc

3) I create the documentation for flcman in
~src/flcman/doc/html/
with:
TAGFILES =3D ../../boblib/doc/boblib.tag=3D../../../boblib/doc/html \
           ../../flclib/doc/flclib.tag=3D../../../flclib/doc/html
thru running doxygen doxygen.cfg in
~/src/flcman/doc

The links in flcman documentation are resolved to boblib and flclib.

Still no installdox involved.
