Building Doxygen

Building Doxygen

Below versions of Doxygen are available in respective distributions at the time of this recipe creation:

• RHEL 7 has 1.8.5
• RHEL 6.6 has 1.6.1
• SLES 12 has 1.8.6-1.20
• SLES 11.3 has 1.5.6-1.19
• Ubuntu 16.04 has 1.8.11-1

The instructions provided below specify the steps to build Doxygen 1.8.11 on Linux on the IBM z Systems for RHEL 6.6/7.1 and SLES11/12 .

General Notes:

i) When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified.

ii) A directory /<source_root>/ will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writeable directory anywhere you'd like to place it.

Building Doxygen

1. Install standard utilities, packages and platform specific dependencies:

   RHEL7.1:

   sudo yum install -y git flex bison gcc gcc-c++ texlive-bibtex-bin make perl-Test-Simple.noarch openssl wget tar cpan qt-devel latex ghostscript texlive unzip texlive-epstopdf.noarch texlive.s390x python-argparse.noarch
   

   RHEL6.6:

   sudo yum install -y git flex bison gcc gcc-c++ texlive-latex.s390x make python-argparse.noarch openssl wget tar qt-devel-4.6.2-28.el6_5.s390x
   

   SLES12:

   sudo zypper install -y git flex bison gcc gcc-c++ python-xml libxml2-tools libxml2-devel texlive-bibtex-bin make perl-Test-Simple.noarch  openssl wget tar libqt4-devel ghostscript texlive unzip graphviz perl perl-YAML zip texlive*
   

   SLES11:

   sudo zypper install -y git flex bison gcc gcc-c++ make openssl wget tar libqt4-devel libxml2-devel texlive ghostscript-devel texlive-bin-tools unzip graphviz python-xml libxml2-devel perl perl-YAML zip texlive*
   

2. Use CPAN to install Perl modules (Only for RHEL7, SLES11, SLES12):

    sudo cpan Test::More
    sudo cpan File::Path
   

   Note: If CPAN has not previously been setup it asks setup/configuration questions before the requested Perl module is installed. The answers can be site specific, but as a guideline, it is generally OK to accept the defaults or suggestions offered.
   Note: If Perl fails to build, it may be because 'echo port 7 ' is commented out in the services file. Please check in the /etc/services file, that the following lines exist and are active (e.g. Not preceded by a # symbol to comment them out).

3. Install dependencies(latex) for make docs command:

   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/multirow/multirow.sty
   wget  http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/import/import.sty 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xtab/xtab.dtx
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xtab/xtab.ins 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xtab/xtab.pdf 
   latex xtab.ins 
   
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sectsty/sectsty.dtx
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sectsty/sectsty.ins 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sectsty/sectsty.pdf 
   latex sectsty.ins 
   
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tocloft/tocloft.dtx 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tocloft/tocloft.ins 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tocloft/tocloft.pdf 
   latex tocloft.ins 
   
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/appendix/appendix.dtx 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/appendix/appendix.ins 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/appendix/appendix.pdf 
   latex appendix.ins 
   
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabu/tabu.dtx 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabu/tabu.ins 
   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabu/tabu.pdf 
   latex tabu.ins
   

• Perform the following steps for SLES12:

   wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/support/epstopdf/epstopdf.pl  
   sudo mv epstopdf.pl /usr/local/bin/epstopdf  
   chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/epstopdf
    wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdftex-def/pdftex.def
    sudo mv pdftex.def /usr/local/bin/pdftex.def
    chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/pdftex.def
  

• The files are made available to latex by placing at specific location:

  sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ (Only for RHEL-7)
  sudo cp *.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/  
  sudo mktexlsr
  

4. Create a working directory with write permission to use as a Doxygen installation workspace
   (Referred to as /<source_root>/ from this point on):

    mkdir /<source_root>/
    cd /<source_root>/
   

5. Check-out Doxygen from github, it will be placed in a sub-directory doxygen:

   git clone https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen.git
   cd doxygen
   git checkout Release_1_8_11
   

6. Create a build directory where the output should be stored:

    cd /<source_root>/doxygen
    mkdir build
    cd build
   

7. Build CMAKE_2.8.12.1:

    wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.12.1.tar.gz --no-check-certificate
    gzip -d cmake-2.8.12.1.tar.gz
    tar xvf cmake-2.8.12.1.tar
    cd cmake-2.8.12.1
    ./configure --prefix=/cmake-2.8.12.1/cmake
    make
    sudo make install
   

8. Build Doxygen using cmake:

    cd /<source_root>/doxygen/build
    cmake-2.8.12.1/bin/cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -Dbuild_doc=ON -Dbuild_wizard=YES .. 
    make  
    make docs  
    sudo make install 
   

9. Run the functional test suite (Optional):

    make tests
