<title>Introduction to <application>Doxygen</application></title>
<para>The <application>Doxygen</application> package contains a documentation
system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Corba IDL and to some extent PHP, C#
and D. This is useful for generating <acronym>HTML</acronym> documentation
and/or an off-line reference manual from a set of documented source files.
There is also support for generating output in <acronym>RTF</acronym>,
PostScript, hyperlinked <acronym>PDF</acronym>, compressed
<acronym>HTML</acronym>, and Unix man pages. The documentation is extracted
directly from the sources, which makes it much easier to keep the
documentation consistent with the source code.</para>
<para>You can also configure <application>Doxygen</application> to extract the
code structure from undocumented source files. This is very useful to quickly
find your way in large source distributions. Used along with
<application>GraphViz</application>, you can also visualize the relations
between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs,
inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated
automatically.</para>

<title>Installation of <application>Doxygen</application></title>
<para>Install <application>Doxygen</application> by running the following
commands:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>rm src/unistd.h &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix /usr --docdir /usr/share/doc &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make install</command></userinput></screen>
<para>If you wish to generate and install the package documentation, ensure
the Python, TeX and Graphviz packages are installed, then substitute the
following commands for the <command>make install</command> command above:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>make docs &amp;&amp;
make pdf &amp;&amp;
install -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/doxygen/src &amp;&amp;
install -m644 src/translator{,_adapter,_en}.h \
/usr/share/doc/doxygen/src &amp;&amp;

<title>Command explanations</title>
<para><command>rm src/unistd.h</command>: There is a bug in
<application>Flex</application>-2.5.31 which causes <command>make</command> to
use this file instead of the system installed version. Removing this file
allows the <acronym>GUI</acronym> front-end to build successfully.</para>
<para><option>--with-doxywizard</option>: Use this parameter if
<application>Qt</application> is installed and you wish to build the
<acronym>GUI</acronym> front-end.</para>
<para><command>make docs</command>: This command builds the
<acronym>HTML</acronym> documentation.</para>
<para><command>make pdf</command>: This command builds a
<acronym>PDF</acronym> version of the <application>Doxygen</application>
Manual.</para>
<para><command>install ...</command>: These commands install some files
required by the documentation installation.</para>
<para><emphasis>Note: For documentation in a language other than English,
replace the <quote>_en</quote> with the country code of your
locale.</emphasis></para>
<para><command>make install_docs</command>: This command installs the binaries
and documentation.</para>
