How do I generate documentation for a project?

How to generate PDF documentation for my project?

• I am using Doxygen for creating documentation of my project. I am able to create Latex file for my documentation, but how to convert it to pdf. I found in the manual of Doxygen that we need to give a make pdf command in outputdir. I tried this but i used to get following error. $ make pdf del /s/y *.ps *.dvi *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ind *.ilg *.log *.out refman.pdf del: not found make: * [clean] Error 127

• Answer:

  Apparently you generated the output on a Windows machine, and are now running make from a Unix/Linux machine. This causes your problem. I suggest to edit the Makefile in the latex output directory and replace "del" by "rm -rf" and then rerun make. Alternatively, you could generate the latex output using the Unix/Linux version of doxygen. Then doxygen will put "rm -rf" in the Makefile.
