Hi Jürgen: Yes I knew you had no Mac <grin>. (Using VirtualBox I run Debian just for fun..)
Gandalf:~ pteeson$ cd /Volumes/Data/Development/MyProjects/GNUAPLWS/apl-svn Gandalf:apl-svn pteeson$ make DOXY doxygen make: doxygen: No such file or directory make: *** [DOXY] Error 1 As a test in Terminal I manually executed doxygen this way /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen (Note the capital D for the app and the lowercase d for the executable.) The shell doesn’t know where the app named Doxygen is located, in my case in the Applications folder. Furthermore it also doesn’t know that the Doxygen app contains within it the actual doxygen executable. The Doxygen downloads page makes it pretty clear that either one downloads the .dmg for Mac or else manually builds and installs the doxygen executable. What do you think about some scripting in make DOXY to detect if we are on a Mac and asking where to find the Doxygen app and then executing it? Or something like that? Frankly I don’t think it's much of an issue as I have never seen any comments about it on this list. However I will make a note in the APL on Macintosh document. respect…..
