Updating Doxygen on Ubuntu host computer

The version of Doxygen that comes with Ubuntu may not support all the needed features used by the RidgeRun SDK. You can update to a new version as follows:

TARBALL_DIR=$HOME/tarballs
PROJECTS_DIR=$HOME/projects
REAL_QTDIR=/usr/share/qt4
QTINC_DIR=/usr/include/qt4
QTSHARE_DIR=/usr/share/qt4

# remove existing doxygen
sudo apt-get remove  doxygen  doxygen-doc  doxygen-docs  doxygen-gui  doxymacs doxypy

# get the source code in place
mkdir -p $TARBALL_DIR
cd $TARBALL_DIR
wget http://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/doxygen-1.7.5.1.src.tar.gz # check if there is a newer version
mkdir -p $HOME/projects
cd $HOME/projects
tar -xzf $TARBALL_DIR/doxygen-*.src.tar.gz
cd doxygen-*

# weird hack (from doc/install.doc) to get header files in the same subdir as qt

mkdir qt
cd qt
ln -s $QTINC_DIR include
ln -s $REAL_QTDIR/lib lib
ln -s $REAL_QTDIR/bin bin
ln -s $QTSHARE_DIR share
export QTDIR=$PWD
cd ..

# configure, build, and install

./configure --english-only --with-doxywizard
make -j 6
sudo make install

If you later want to remove the doxygen you just installed:

cd $HOME/projects/doxygen-*
sudo make uninstall
