Summary0009971: Parameters pass to command-line entirely wrong
DescriptionTrying to call doxygen using a doxyfile configuration file located in ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Doxyfile. See additional information for exact code. When passing the command to the command-line, it sends "doxygen C:" instead of "doxygen C:/temp/deploy2/Doxyfile" which is what the verbose output of nmake says it should be outputting. If I copy the command generated by nmake

"C:\Program Files\doxygen\bin\doxygen.exe" C:/temp/deploy2/Doxyfile

It runs just fine. Here is the output when it fails:

C:\temp\deploy2>nmake verbose=1 build_api_docs

Might be related to this other but I reported. It looks similar:

I uninstalled and reinstalled CMake 2.8 from the version I downloaded from the web to make sure I had everything up to date, but no success. I also created a new build directory but that also failed.

If I hardcode the value, it works:

    ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(build_api_docs ${DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE} C:\\temp\\deploy2\\Doxyfile
        WORKING_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}
        COMMENT "Generate the doxygen documentation into ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/docs/api.")

If I hardcode the value with forward slashes, it fails:

    ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(build_api_docs ${DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE} C:/temp/deploy2/Doxyfile
        WORKING_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}
        COMMENT "Generate the doxygen documentation into ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/docs/api.")

If I copy and paste this from the verbose output of the nmake output, it works:

"C:\Program Files\doxygen\bin\doxygen.exe" C:/temp/deploy2/Doxyfile

It strikes me as odd that running manually works exactly as it's shown in nmake, but when nmake actually runs it, it fails.

This is what ends up in the makefile that actually runs the command:

CMakeFiles\build_api_docs:
    $(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_progress_report C:\temp\deploy2\CMakeFiles $(CMAKE_PROGRESS_1)
    @$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_echo_color --switch=$(COLOR) --blue --bold "Generate the doxygen documentation into C:/workspace/SIS/docs/api."
    cd C:\workspace\SIS
    "C:\Program Files\doxygen\bin\doxygen.exe" C:/temp/deploy2/Doxyfile
    cd C:\temp\deploy2

Again if I copy and paste just the one doxygen line and run it, it works. When I run "nmake build_api_docs", it fails. Could it be an environment issue?

I was able to work around it with this code:

IF( DOXYGEN_FOUND )
    SET( DOXY_CONFIG "\"${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/Doxyfile\"" )
    MESSAGE( STATUS "Configured ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/Doxyfile.in --> ${DOXY_CONFIG}" )
    CONFIGURE_FILE(
      "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/Doxyfile.in"
      "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Doxyfile"
      @ONLY)
    MESSAGE( STATUS "${DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE} ${DOXY_CONFIG}" )
    ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(build_api_docs ${DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE} "${DOXY_CONFIG}"
        #WORKING_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}
        COMMENT "Generate the doxygen documentation into ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/docs/api.")
ENDIF( DOXYGEN_FOUND )

Basically, I had to double-escape the DOXY_CONFIG variable so that it gets quoted when passed to the command-line. Oddly this isn't required when I copy and paste the command on the command-line...not quotes are necessary, but escaping a few quotes in CMake fixes the issue in CMake.

dup of 9963 -- when that one is fixed, this one will be also...

Related issue 0009963 is now resolved; fixed in CMake 'next'; this one should be too...
