Warren - thanks for your reply (again). I must say that I'm a little bit confused about what I need to do. Your explanations sounds like it will work, but here's what I understand:
1) I do have a Windows build of Graphviz, which includes dot, and I have always been able to run dot under cygwin, even though it is not a native cygwin build. 2) I have always used Doxygen and dot together like this, and it has worked previously - I did get the diagrams built. 3) I have used the same doxygen configuration file for quite a while, without changes. 4) I get the executable of doxygen via "setup.exe" which is downloaded from cygwin.com, and go through that installation process. I am currently using doxygen v1.8.3.1 Are you suggesting that to use the version of dot that I currently have, that I would need to: 1) provide a direction to doxygen to use relative paths? If so, how would I do that? 2) build a new version of doxygen from the source code (which I have done before and can do) that will understand relative paths. I'm still uncertain what would have changed that would have caused things to not work as expected anymore, but if I can get this to all work again, it's a moot point.
