Doxygen Installation

The VB Filter requires at least Doxygen 1.7.0 to work properly.

The latest version can be downloaded from the  Doxygen Homepage.

Older version are supported, but have some limitations due to a bug in the extension mapping function.
About how to patch and configure older Doxygen versions (<=1.6.3) is described on the Old Doxygen page.

Windows

Simply install the Doxygen Installation package (v.1.7.1:  doxygen-1.7.1-setup.exe).

Linux

Most distributions provide Doxygen through their repositories, but it is not always the most current version.

On Ubuntu (and compatible distributions) you can use the Binary package:  doxygen-1.7.1.linux.bin.tar.gz from the  Doxygen download page.

How to build Doxygen from source is described in the  Doxygen manual.

GraphViz

Install GraphViz if you want nice graphs in your documentation.

Read more on  http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/diagrams.html for Doxygen configuration options.

Windows

Simply install the MSI package from  http://www.graphviz.org/Download_windows.php.

Linux

If your Distribution does not provide GraphViz through a repository, you'll find precompiled packages and sources on the  GraphViz download page.

Make sure you have "dot" in your path (test with which dot), or use the DOT_PATH option in your Doxyfile.
