Here is a response to Chris' request for a show of confidence in doxygen:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-10/msg00156.html
It looks like a useful tool. Some major projects are using it, like
libstdc++ (for gcc), rpm, and abiword. It can produce nice source
documentation in html and in conjunction with TeX and tools in pdf,
ps, and other formats.
If the packager is still willing to maintain it, I believe that the
problems are taken care of. I just downloaded the packages
and tested the binaries on the examples included and on a file
of my own. It produces nice-looking highlighted HTML of the source.
I also unpacked the src, built, and ran it through the same tests.
I didn't run "make install" but the Makefile appears ready to
strip the exe's and put them in /usr/bin/ and so on.
The only possible problem would be with the README, which doesn't
list build requirements. However, I'm not sure all Cygwin packages do.
I would prefer that /usr/doc/Cygwin/doxygen-VER.README have something
like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build requirements:
make
flex
bison
perl
libpng12-devel
Canonical homepage:
http://www.doxygen.org
Build instructions:
unpack doxygen-VER-REL-src.tar.bz2
if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
unpacked under /usr/src automatically
cd doxygen-VER-REL
./configure
make
For more details see /usr/doc/doxygen-VER/html/install.html
