[Doxygen-users] Using formulas

[Mark E. <mar...@vi...>]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to doxygen (and ghostscript, latex etc) - my problem may be
an installation problem rather than a bug in doxygen specifically. I've
looked in the FAQ & user mailling list archive

Doxygen hangs up when a formula is included even in a simple example:

------------------------------------------
Test.h
/// Test Class

class Test
{
public:

	int test();
};

Test.cpp
#include "test.h"

int Test::test()
{

/// \f$(x_1,y_1)\f$

	return 0;
}

----------------------------------------------

The last message from doxygen is:

Generating group index...
Generating example index...
Generating file member index...
Generating namespace member index...
Generating page index...
Generating graph info page...
Generating search index...
Generating style sheet...
Generating bitmaps for formulas in HTML...
Generating image form_0.png for formula

It then hangs although I notice a gswin32.exe process is left running.

In the html folder there is formulas.tex that contains:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$(x_1,y_1)$
\pagebreak

\end{document}

And a _form0.ps that contains:

1 1 1 setrgbcolor
newpath
-1 -1 moveto
-5248003 -1 lineto
-5248003 -3276866 lineto
-1 -3276866 lineto
closepath
fill
-6488169 -7733362 translate
0 0 0 setrgbcolor
(_form0.eps) run.

If I run gswin32 on _form0.ps it comes up with errors I don't
comprehend.

I have doxygen 1.3-rc2 running on a Win-XP PC.

I also have cygwin from which I get tetex20020911-1 along with dvips
5.90a.

Although I also installed ghostscript with cygwin it had only a gs.exe,
not the  gswin32.exe doxygen was looking for, so I downloaded AFPL
ghostscript 8.00 and installed it along with fonts (I tried copying
gs.exe to gswin32.exe initially to keep doxygen from complaining but
that did not cure my problem.

When I run latex on _formulas.tex, then dvips _formulas.dvi, then
gswin32 _formulas.ps I get a gs viewer with the expected equation so the
individual tools seem to work, just not when they're called from
doxygen.

Sorry this turned into a long exposition but any guidance would be much
appreciated.

TIA
