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…..

Hi Peter,
it is difficult for me to do that because I have no
access to a Mac computer.
I would assume that the place where Doxygen is installed
does not matter as long as your shell
can find it. The only other thing that Doxygen cares
about (speaking for the Ubuntu version) is where
the config file is located (one can specify that file on
the command line that invokes doxygen).
So it would be good to know if your make
DOXY fails because the doxygen command itself was
not
found, or because the doxygen command could not find its
config file (which is normally ./Doxyfile)
Best Regards,
/// Jürgen

If you are working with Make please look at Make DOXY
which doesn’t work on Mac (in my case but
maybe others as well)
On Macintosh there is a Doxygen download
from their site.
"
Doxygen-1.8.13.dmg
(54.6MB) (
ftp |
http )
This is a self-contained disk image, which contains
the GUI frontend.
The binaries support the whole range of
Intel CPUs (both 32 and 64 bit). “
Basically there is a GUI front end for
configuration and then a button to run doxygen which
is included in the app.
On Mac one opens the .dmg and drags the
app somewhere, usually the Application
folder/directory.
And then launches the app, perhaps by
making it available from the dock…
To use the present Make file one would
have to install doxygen itself somewhere,
/usr/local/bin or some such place.
It would be interesting to know what
other Mac users do, but I use the “official” one as
per above….
respect….
Peter
