Building documentation

Specifying Files

To specify the source files for which to build documentation, modify INPUT and its related fields in doc/source.dox. Note that the INPUT paths are relative to the doc/ directory.

Install Dependencies

Windows

Install these dependencies:

1. Install Doxygen
2. Download the following zip files from xsltproc (Alternate download: ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/libxml/), and extract the bin\ folder contents into any folder in your path.

• iconv
• libxml2
• libxslt
• zlib

3. Download Boost
4. Extract the compressed file contents to your (new) $BOOST_ROOT location.
5. Open a command prompt or shell in the $BOOST_ROOT.
6. ./bootstrap.bat
7. If it is not already there, add your $BOOST_ROOT to your environment $PATH.

MacOS

1. Install doxygen:

• Use homebrew to install: brew install doxygen. The executable will be installed in /usr/local/bin which is already in your path.
• Alternatively, install from here: doxygen. You'll then need to make doxygen available to your command line. You can do this by adding a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin to the doxygen executable. For example, $ ln -s /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen /usr/local/bin/doxygen

2. Install Boost
3. Extract the compressed file contents to your (new) $BOOST_ROOT location.
4. Open a command prompt or shell in the $BOOST_ROOT.
5. $ ./bootstrap.bat
6. If it is not already there, add your $BOOST_ROOT to your environment $PATH. This makes the b2 command available to the command line.
7. That should be all that's required. In OS X 10.11, at least, libxml2 and libxslt come pre-installed.

Linux

1. Install Docker
2. Build Docker image. From the Beast root folder:

sudo docker build -t beast-docs doc/

Do it

Windows & MacOS

From the Beast root folder:

cd doc
./makeqbk.sh && b2

The output will be in doc/html.

Linux

From the Beast root folder:

sudo docker run -v $PWD:/opt/beast --rm beast-docs

The output will be in doc/html.
