AARON SMITH’S CODE ENDEAVOR

Doxygen on Snow Leopard

September 06th, 2009
| Category: C, Doxygen

If installing doxygen from macports doesn’t work for you, you’ll have to build doxygen from source. Unfortunately you’ll get an error when building doxygen as well: “error This version of Mac OS X is unsupported”.

The fix is fairly straightforward:

-Download doxygen src
-Edit the file src/qglobal.h
-Find line 73 (we’re changing a chunk from this line)

Change this:

#if defined(__APPLE__) || defined(macintosh)
#define _OS_MAC_
#  ifdef MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED
#    undef MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED
#  endif
#  define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3
#  include <AvailabilityMacros.h>
#  if !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3)
#     define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3 MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_2 + 1
#  endif
#  if !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4)
#       define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3 + 1
#  endif
#  if !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5)
#       define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 + 1
#  endif
#  if (MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED > MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5)
#    error "This version of Mac OS X is unsupported"
#  endif
#elif defined(MSDOS) || defined(_MSDOS) || defined(__MSDOS__)

To this:

#if defined(__APPLE__) || defined(macintosh)
#define _OS_MAC_
#  ifdef MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED
#    undef MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED
#  endif
#  define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3
#  include <AvailabilityMacros.h>
#  if !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3)
#     define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3 MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_2 + 1
#  endif
#  if !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4)
#       define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_3 + 1
#  endif
#  if !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5)
#       define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4 + 1
#  endif
#  if !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6)
#       define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6 MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 + 1
#  endif
#  if (MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED > MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6)
#    error "This version of Mac OS X is unsupported"
#  endif
#elif defined(MSDOS) || defined(_MSDOS) || defined(__MSDOS__)

All we did was add in a definition for 10.6.

Now run the install:

./configure
make
sudo make install

    Thanx for the post… : )

    By the way, the ‘qglobal.h’ file is not in the ’src’ directory, but in ‘qtools’…
