RE: [Doxygen-users] newbie with a question

[Glenn M. <gle...@vo...>]

You have to understand that Doxygen looks at the whole system at once on
multiple passes so that it can resolve dependencies and get hyperlinks.
It doesn't work well in your favor to fetch "just what it needs when it
needs it."

The solution is what you do outside of the doxygen calls. I use Doxygen
on Unix and always call it through script files. (If it were DOS, I'd be
doing it with batch files.) The script files wrap around the Doxygen
calls with operations like removing stuff from last run, checking out
code, running Doxygen, and then cleaning up.

Something else to consider is to break up your project into smaller
projects. Look into the tag file options, because they resolve
dependencies between projects. Incorporating multiple projects will
allow you to fetch smaller sections of code.

Download www.voyanttech.com/tp_tools.zip (1.8 MB), unzip, and launch
tp_tools/_start_here.html for ideas on what can be accomplished and
open-source tools on how.
