Description marc.glisse 2014-12-19 18:44:37 UTC 
$ cat biblio.bib 
@misc{ploum,author="Me",title="Whatever"}
$ cat x.h
/** \brief My class
 *
 * This is documented in \cite ploum.
 */
struct A {};

With doxygen-1.8.7, this was working fine. With 1.8.8, I get:
/tmp/dox/x.h:1: warning: unable to resolve reference to `ploum.' for \cite command

and the generated page indeed does not link to the bibliography.
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2014-12-22 11:30:46 UTC 
I could 'solve' the problem with the latest snapshot from GitHub by adding 

CITE_BIB_FILES = biblio.bib

to the config file. I'm sure you already did this.

Version 1.8.8 still shows the problem, so there was a problem with that release.

I'll use this report to further improve the warning in case CITE_BIB_FILES is empty.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2014-12-25 16:02:30 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).
