I have successfully downloaded and installed doxygen. I am trying to run doxygen but am a little overwhelmed by the configuration file. I see that there is a utility called doxywizard that guides you through the creation of a configuration file. How do I run this wizard? I see that there is a folder called Doxywizard. Do I run one of the files in this folder?

  • Other than the *potential* likelihood that you're wanting to doxygen C++ source files, what does C++ have to do with this question? – WhozCraig Sep 18 '13 at 00:05
  • @WhozCraig fair enough. i removed the tag. – bernie2436 Sep 18 '13 at 00:07
  • No worries. its a good question. I remember fighting with this on my Mac for awhile. Sorry i can't recall how it finally finished up, or I'd step up. The config UI is a little daunting, you're quite correct. The site wasn't a ton of help either, but trial and error more than anything got me what i needed. – WhozCraig Sep 18 '13 at 00:08

brew install doxygen --with-graphviz --with-qt --with-llvm

EDIT:

The command used to be:

brew install doxygen --with-dot --with-doxywizard --with-libclang

If you successfully installed doxygen, then you can run Doxywizard by typing doxywizard in terminal. I think, by default it goes into /usr/local/bin/.

EDIT: The official .dmg file for MacOS from the doxygen download page does contain the GUI front-end (doxywizard).

When building from source, according to the doxygen user manual, one must use configure --with-doxywizard to enable doxywizard (also, note requirement for Qt version).

    I can run the command doxygen at the terminal. But if I type doxywizard at the terminal, then I get command not found – bernie2436 Sep 18 '13 at 00:13
  • What system are you on? – lapk Sep 18 '13 at 00:13

    It should be just `doxywizard`, at least for linux distros.... Did you try running `doxygen` icon? Does window appear? If so, does it have `Wizard` button?... _Optionally, the executable doxywizard can be used, which is a graphical front-end for editing the configuration file that is used by doxygen and for running doxygen in a graphical environment. For Mac OS X doxywizard will be started by clicking on the Doxygen application icon._ This is from http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/starting.html – lapk Sep 18 '13 at 00:21

    Did you download it from http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html ? It says for Mac OS download: _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)._ – lapk Sep 18 '13 at 01:57
  • I built from source from that site, which did not generate the gui. But when I downloaded the .dmg everything worked. Want to update your answer so I can accept? – bernie2436 Sep 18 '13 at 02:39
  • @abe3 Updated. When building from source, one needs to use `configure --with-doxywizard`, according to http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/install.html – lapk Sep 18 '13 at 05:05

On Debian 10 I had to:

sudo apt install doxygen-gui

Then I can run doxywizard from the cmd line.
