Archive with two files: very simple header file and the doxygen file (29.64 KB, application/zip) 2014-10-14 19:45 UTC, Dmitry	Details

Archive with two files: very simple header file and the doxygen file

Doxygen has an option LATEX_SOURCE_CODE, if it is turned on, source code is included in the latex output; otherwise, sources aren't included, but resulting pdf file contains dead links, right after detailed description:

    Definition in file tn_mutex.h

Where tn_mutex.h is a dead link.

--

I've attached the archive with two files: very simple header file and the doxygen file. 

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  - download and unpack archive in some folder, cd to it
  - execute the following commands:
    $ cd <folder_where_archive_unpacked>
    $ doxygen test_doxyfile
    $ cd output/latex
    $ make
  - open refman.pdf file
  - look at the latest page, latest line: "Definition in file test.h", where "test.h" is a dead link (a link that actually brings me at the top of the document)

Thanks, I've pulled the change

Comment 3 Dimitri van Heesch 2014-12-25 16:03:38 UTC

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.9. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information 
that you think can be relevant (preferrably in the form of a self-contained example).
