Quick install with binaries

Visit the Files section and find the package that applies to you or if you are using Nokia Qt SDK, Nokia SDK or just a plain Qt Creator, here are binaries for you: Binary Binary Binary Binary for for for for Linux x86: for qtcreator 2.3.1 Linux x86_64: for qtcreator 2.3.1 Windows x86: for qtcreator 2.3.1 Mac: for qtcreator 2.3.1

Welcome Quick install with binaries Usage Output example Compilation from sources Get the source
svn download http download

For Linux and Windows, extract in $path_to_qtcreator$/lib/qtcreator/plugins/ and you should be good to go. For Mac OS X, extract in e.g. /Applications/Qt Creator.app/Contents/PlugIns/

Compile Against Nokia binaries (Linux) Against Nokia binaries (Mac OS X) Against a Gentoo install (qt-creator-2.1.0 here) Thanks

Usage
Generate Doxygen tags: CTRL+SHIFT+F3 and the context menu -> "Create Doxygen Documentation" Generate Doxygen tags for a whole file: CTRL+SHIFT+F5 and the context menu -> "Document whole file" Building project documentation: CTRL+SHIFT+F4 and the "Tools/Doxygen" menu -> "Build Doxygen Documentation". If you didn't create and configure a Doxyfile at your project root, the default one will be generated and used. Edit Doxyfile with doxywizard: CTRL+SHIFT+F6 Don't forget to configure the "doxygen" and "doxywizard" commands in "Settings/Documentation/Doxygen Plugin" if it is not in your $PATH.

Output example
Consider this meaningless snippet of code: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 typedef bool ILoveToPolluteTheMainNamespace; enum { bob, mark, louis }; class Hello { public: Hello(Feeling &iloveyou, bool wontyou, QList<Sentences> tellme, Person *your, const QString &name); bool initialize(const QStringList &arguments, QString *error_message); bool needSomething(QList<Something> &things); virtual void bye() = 0; QMap<QString, QList> randomMethod() const; //... };

That would become: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 /*! \brief */ typedef bool ILoveToPolluteTheMainNamespace; /*! \brief */ enum { bob, mark, louis }; /*! \brief */ class Hello { public: /*! \brief \param iloveyou \param wontyou \param tellme \param your \param name */ Hello(Feeling &iloveyou, bool wontyou, QList<Sentences> tellme, Person *your, const QString &name);

Compilation from sources

Get the source
You can get the source code either by using your favourite subversion client or by http.

svn download
The repository is world readable so it should be pretty straightforward, for downloading trunk from the command line: user@host $ svn co http://svn.kofee.org/svn/qtcreator-doxygen/trunk qtcreator-doxygen

And to get a specific revision use the @rev_number syntax, e.g. for the source for qtcreator-2.0.1: user@host $ svn co http://svn.kofee.org/svn/qtcreator-doxygen/trunk@32 qtcreator-doxygen

http download
If you want latest source: grab an archive of the trunk If you want a specific revision, then either select it manually on for qtcreator-2.0.1: websvn or append &rev=$rev_number to the download link, e.g. for the source

http://svn.kofee.org/dl.php?repname=QtCreator-Doxygen&path=%2Ftrunk%2F&isdir=1&rev=32

Compile
Once in the source directory, you have two choices: Edit the pro file to tweak it to your platform (paths, libs) Pass arguments to qmake (revision r34 and up): QTC_SOURCE_DIR: The directory containing qtcreator source code QTC_BUILD_DIR: The directory where we build the plugin LIBSROOT: The root of the built qtcreator lib directory DEST: The directory where the shared library and the plugin spec files will be moved to Example passing arguments to qmake: user@host ~/qtcreator-doxygen $ qmake QTC_SOURCE_DIR=/home/kofee/Dev/Qt/qt-creator-2.1.0-src \ QTC_BUILD_DIR=/home/kofee/qtcdox_build \ LIBSROOT=/home/kofee/qtcreator-2.1.0/lib \ DEST=/home/kofee/qtcreator-2.1.0/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Kofee You should see: Project Project Project Project Project Project MESSAGE: MESSAGE: MESSAGE: MESSAGE: MESSAGE: MESSAGE: QTC_SOURCE_DIR = /home/kofee/Dev/Qt/qt-creator-2.1.0-src IDE_SOURCE_TREE = /home/kofee/Dev/Qt/qt-creator-2.1.0-src QTC_BUILD_DIR = /home/kofee/qtcdox_build IDE_BUILD_TREE = /home/kofee/qtcdox_build DESTDIR = /home/kofee/qtcreator-2.1.0/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Kofee Good luck with make... :-D

And finally, do make:

user@host ~/qtcreator-doxygen $ make If all goes well, it should be installed and (re)starting qtcreator will be enough to use the plugin.

Against Nokia binaries (Linux)

It almost compiles out of the box against the binaries distributed by Nokia, you just have to create few symbolic links for it to link properly. So short version in a bash shell: user@host ~ $ cd qtcreator-2.1.0/lib/qtcreator user@host ~/qtcreator-2.1.0/lib/qtcreator $ for i in *.so.1; do ln -s $i ${i/.so.1/.so}; done And no more problem with finding -lAggregation and friends.

Against Nokia binaries (Mac OS X)

Compilation isn't the issue but telling the plugin to load Qt dylibs shipped with Qt Creator/the SDK can be (else, prepare to segfault):

long prompt stuff $ install_name_tool -change QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/V long prompt stuff $ install_name_tool -change QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui @executable_path/../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Vers

Against a Gentoo install (qt-creator-2.1.0 here)

We already have the sources of qt-creator and the tools to manipulate them, so let's use it: root@host root@host root@host root@host root@host ~/qtcreator-doxygen ~/qtcreator-doxygen ~/qtcreator-doxygen ~/qtcreator-doxygen ~/qtcreator-doxygen # # # # #

ebuild /usr/portage/dev-util/qt-creator/qt-creator-2.1.0.ebuild unpack qmake QTC_SOURCE_DIR=/var/tmp/portage/dev-util/qt-creator-2.1.0/work/qt-creator-2.1.0-src/ LIBSROO make make clean ebuild /usr/portage/dev-util/qt-creator/qt-creator-2.1.0.ebuild clean

Restart qt-creator :)

Thanks
The Trolls indeed, and therefore Nokia. Nicolas Arnaud-Cormos got me started. VCreate Logic gave me some more info.
