|
|
|
This directory contains tools and data files for Doxygen
|
|
|
|
generation. These are the GENERIC files; any module may
|
|
|
|
override them by putting specific replacements in doc/api/ .
|
|
|
|
This allows modules to customize their appearance as desired.
|
|
|
|
The files that may be overridden are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- doxygen.css Stylesheet.
|
|
|
|
- mainheader.html Header for front page of dox. This should
|
|
|
|
not be terribly different from header.html.
|
|
|
|
It might contain special CSS for the footer.
|
|
|
|
- mainfooter.html Footer for front page of dox. This should at
|
|
|
|
least credit Doxygen [1] and point to the dox
|
|
|
|
guidelines [2].
|
|
|
|
- header.html Header file for regular pages.
|
|
|
|
- footer.html Footer file for regular pages.
|
|
|
|
- Doxyfile.global The global (brief) Doxyfile. For a long-style
|
|
|
|
Doxyfile, see KDE PIM's doc/api/Doxyfile.pim.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tool for generating dox lives in admin/ :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- doxygen.sh Script that does all the dox generation work.
|
|
|
|
See below for usage information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a configured build directory, you can use "make apidox" to
|
|
|
|
generate the API dox for the module -- assuming it has any, of course.
|
|
|
|
Writing dox is beyond the scope of this README -- see the notes at
|
|
|
|
http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Library_Documentation_Policy .
|
|
|
|
You can generate dox by hand -- without even having a configured
|
|
|
|
build directory -- as explained below. There is also documentation
|
|
|
|
for the special tags you can enter in Makefile.am anywhere
|
|
|
|
in a module to modify dox generation.

*** Tool usage.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
doxygen.sh [--recurse] [--modulename] [--doxdatadir=<dir>] [--installdir=<dir>]
|
|
|
|
<top_srcdir> [<subdir>]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--recurse Also generate dox in subdirs of the given <subdir>. If no
|
|
|
|
<subdir> is given, --recurse is the default and can be
|
|
|
|
turned off with --no-recurse.
|
|
|
|
--modulename By default, apidox are generated in a subdirectory
|
|
|
|
<modulename>-apidocs/ . You can use --no-modulename to
|
|
|
|
suppress the <modulename> and generate the apidox in
|
|
|
|
a subdirectory apidocs/ . Modulename is the last part of
|
|
|
|
the <top_srcdir> (usually a KDE SVN module name).
|
|
|
|
--doxdatadir=<dir> Locate the HTML header files and support graphics.
|
|
|
|
In kdelibs, the subdirectory doc/common/ contains these
|
|
|
|
files (and this README). In an installed KDE system,
|
|
|
|
$KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML/en/common/ contains a copy.
|
|
|
|
This argument is mandatory if doxygen.sh can't guess where
|
|
|
|
the doxdata lives.
|
|
|
|
--installdir=<dir> Locate the directory where apidox from other modules
|
|
|
|
is installed. Subdirectories named *-apidocs/ under the
|
|
|
|
named <dir> are searched for tag files, for cross-module
|
|
|
|
cross-referencing.

How to generate dox manually: <TODO>
|
|
|
|
Plan to fit these tools into ../Doxyfile.am: <TODO>

|
|
Differences with current dox: <TODO>

|

|
|
|
# A shell script that builds dox without all the tedious mucking about with
|
|
|
|
# autoconf and configure. Run it in the "top builddir" with one argument,
|
|
|
|
# the "top srcdir". Something like this:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# cd /mnt/build/tdepim
|
|
|
|
# sh /mnt/src/tdepim/doc/api/doxygen.sh /mnt/src/tdepim
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# You can also build single subdirs (for instance, after updating some
|
|
|
|
# dox and you don't want to rebuild for the enitre module) by giving the
|
|
|
|
# subdirectory _relative to the top srcdir_ as a second argument:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# sh /mnt/src/tdepim/doc/api/doxygen.sh /mnt/src/tdepim kpilot/lib
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# When generating dox for kdelibs, a tag file for Qt is also created.
|
|
|
|
# The location of Qt is specified indirectly through $QTDOCDIR or,
|
|
|
|
# if that is not set, $QTDIR, or otherwise guessed. You may explicitly
|
|
|
|
# set the location of a pre-generated tag file with $QTDOCTAG. One
|
|
|
|
# typical approach might be:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# QTDOCTAG=$QTDIR/doc/qt.tag QTDOCDIR=http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Finally, there is a --no-recurse option for top-level generation
|
|
|
|
# that avoids generating all the subdirectories as well. It also
|
|
|
|
# suppresses cleaning up (rm -rf) of the dox direction beforehand.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Post-finally, there is a --no-modulename option that builds the
|
|
|
|
# dox in "apidocs/" instead of "modulename-apidocs". The former is
|
|
|
|
# compatible with the KDE 3.4 build system, the latter is more convenient
|
|
|
|
# for the installed dox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# A shell script to post-process doxy-generated files; the purpose
|
|
|
|
# is to make the menu on the left in the file match the actually
|
|
|
|
# generated files (ie. leave out namespaces if there are none).
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Usage: doxyndex.sh <toplevel-apidocs-dir> <relative-html-output-directory>
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Typically, this means $(top_builddir)/apidocs and something like
|
|
|
|
# libfoo/html for the output. For the top-level dig, set relative-html
|
|
|
|
# to "." . In non-top directories, both <!-- menu --> and <!-- gmenu -->
|
|
|
|
# are calculated and replaced. Top directories get an empty <!-- menu -->
|
|
|
|
# if any.
