[vtkusers] Re: Pre-built VTK 5.0 documentation?

[Francois Bertel]

In your VTK build directory, switch flag BUILD_DOCUMENTATION to ON with cmake. Type 'c' (configure).

Check the path for DOXYGEN and DOT.
Optionaly, switch DOCUMENTATION_HTML_HELP , DOCUMENTATION_HTML_TARZ or DOXYGEN_SHORT_NAMES to ON.

If you changed anything at this time retype 'c'.

Type 'g' to regenerate the build files.

Go to Utilities/Doxygen in your VTK build directory: there is a doc_makeall.sh script.


Type sh ./doc_makeall.sh

and wait for the result.
