Doxygen requires GNU flex, bison, make, and Perl. There is an optional Qt GUI and it needs LaTeX if you want PostScript output. It might be a good choice since it avoids favoring KDE (kdoc) or Gnome (gtk-doc). I know kdoc requires Perl 5.6.0 which is a problem for me running Debian Potato. I believe KDE is now encouraging people to use doxygen instead of kdoc since it is better supported, has more features, and is compatible. Doxygen looks like a good choice but I still want to see how gtk-doc works. Home page is http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/
