Hello everyone,

I tried to build doxypress under cygwin today and got this error:

Making all in .
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/d/mystuff/work/development/doxypress-src/DoxyPress-1.1.0'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/d/mystuff/work/development/doxypress-src/DoxyPress-1.1.0'
Making all in bin

make[1]: /cygdrive/c/Users/marlowa/bin/rcc: Command not found
Makefile:1273: recipe for target 'qrc_doxypress.cpp' failed
make[1]: *** [qrc_doxypress.cpp] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/d/mystuff/work/development/doxypress-src/DoxyPress-1.1.0/bin'
Makefile:399: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

This looks like it is a reference to the Qt resource compiler. Does doxypress have its own version of this? If so then shouldn't it be built as part of the build?

Thanks for your question.

Cygwin is not a supported platform for DoxyPress or CopperSpice. On Windows the supported toolchain is MinGW + MSYS, further details can be found on our website:

http://www.copperspice.com/documentation-mingw.html
http://www.copperspice.com/docs/cs_over ... forms.html

In order to build DoxyPress, you must first build or download the dependencies, including the necessary toolchain, CopperSpice, and clang. Building clang on Windows is a bit challenging, but we have directions for this task on our website as well:

All necessary libraries are included in the binary distributions of DoxyPress.
