We are inside the directory where the source code of the tool Doxygen is, we must compile it, for this we must first install the compilation dependencies, which are installed as follows under Ubuntu using apt, for other distributions other package managers are used (such as pacman): sudo apt install flex bison cmake Later, once the copy is made, we will enter at the cloned directory with the following command: cd doxygen The first step is to make a copy of the original repository of the project Doxygen, for this it is enough to execute the following instruction: git clone

This post will guide you through the compilation process. The installation of this tool is very simple, you must follow the steps that appear on its page to be able to compile and run it, or you can even perform the installation from pre-compiled binaries. This task requires a great effort if it is carried out manually, that is why, through the tool Doxygen is possible to generate documentation programmatically, creating outputs in formats such as HTML or LaTeX. It is a task that involves both developers and people from different departments (including the commercial one). Good documentation is an important point in the development of a project. It is important to show the projects we carry out, but it is necessary for users to know what are the advantages of the library or application developed. This is possible due to the explanations that are made about the different functions and characteristics of the project on which the documentation is being generated. Within the application development area, documentation generation is a task which, if done correctly, can boost the use of the application or library that has been created.
