Hi, I was looking for an automated tool to document gtk+ source code. I
was thinking on Doxygen, similar to the JavaDoc I'm used to, but
searching on the net I found gtk-doc looks to be the prefered tool to
document gtk projects. Unfortunately the gtk-doc on itself looks to be
bad documented (I just found some man pages on the net and a few short
examples to use in Makefile.in. Even RedHat 9 is preinstaled with an old
gtk-doc version with no man pages). On the opposite the Doxygen project
is well known on the GNU world and offers me great confidence.
That's not to say that I consider gtk-doc to be bad. I just heard of
it a few days ago, I'm not used to it and I've found no docs. with the
named exceptions. Can someone guide me to choose one of those tools?.
What advantages gtk-doc offers over Doxygen when the source is gtk+ code
(plain C, not C++)?
Another doubt arise when I see the http://cvs.gnome.org. While it now
offers just LXR and Bonsai front-end to the code, is it planned to offer
a third gtk-doc/Doxygen/... front-end in a future?.
Thanks in advance for any help!
