Yes, makes sense. Should be corrected in the next release.

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.7.2. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the

This seems to introduce a new problem.  Here is the latex/Makefile I get on Windows:

<quote>
all: clean refman.pdf

pdf: refman.pdf

refman.pdf: refman.tex
	pdflatex refman.tex
	makeindex refman.idx
	pdflatex refman.tex
	latex_count=5 ; \
	while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references right)' refman.log && [ $$latex_count -gt 0 ] ;\
	    do \
	      echo "Rerunning latex...." ;\
	      pdflatex refman.tex ;\
	      latex_count=`expr $$latex_count - 1` ;\
	    done


clean:
	del *.ps *.dvi *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ind *.ilg *.log *.out refman.pdf

As far as I tell, other parts of the makefile still assume a Cygwin environment.  At least, nmake can't run this for me.  I get the following:
        latex_count=5 ;  while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references ri
ght)' refman.log && [ $latex_count -gt 0 ] ; do  echo "Rerunning latex...." ; pd
flatex refman.tex ; latex_count=`expr $latex_count - 1` ; done
'latex_count' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'latex_count=5' : return code '0xff'

Worse, within my Cygwin environment, the shell doesn't have access to "del", so I can't run the makefile using GNU make either.

Ok, then I'll just revert the change and require the use of cygwin for latex compilation, unless someone posts a proper solution using only the crappy stuff that comes with a dos box and visual studio.
