Description Mark Calabretta 2015-01-06 00:14:11 UTC 
A change to latexgen.cpp in doxygen 1.8.9 is incompatible with COMPACT_LATEX=YES in that refman.tex now unconditionally includes the \backmatter command for index generation.

\backmatter is only applicable for latex book class which applies if COMPACT_LATEX is set to NO, otherwise, article class is used.  In that case \backmatter is undefined, leading to errors when latex compiles the document.

The solution is simply to make the use of \backmatter conditional on the value of COMPACT_LATEX.

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.10. 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 (preferably in the form of a self-contained example).
