No, still wrong. You didn't read what I said carefully enough.
You *need* to understand:
Filenames are expected to be EXACTLY:
NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.tar.bz2

I guess I never appreciated the subtle naming convention used for cygwin
packages. Honestly, my impression was that names go all over the map.
Fixed (I think).

+++ doxygen_1.4.2-20050410/doc/language.doc +++
doxygen_1.4.2-20050410/doc/translator_report.txt +++
doxygen_1.4.2-20050410/examples/example.tag
These files are touched during a 'make install_docs'.
Excluded offending diffs from patch.

Having got the superficial naming problems out of the way, I took a closer look at the source packaging.


There were many issues - the most serious being that the source package did not even contain the Cygwin specific readme at all - and many minor deficiencies related to using a home-grown build script, rather than the tried-and-true cygwin template.

I am sorry, but the conclusion I came to was that it would be less effort for me to produce my own packages of doxygen, based on the the generic-build-script, than to assist in getting these packages up to a good-to-go status.

Accordingly, I hereby ITP doxygen myself:
Setup.exe installation site:
