Problems using "dot" on OS X

[Glenn H-2]

Hello all,

I'm trying to use doxygen with dot output on OS X, and I've been  
running into a bunch of problems.  (PPC, 10.5.4)

If I use dot executable built into Doxygen.app, I get many of the  
following errors:

Error: invalid api in config: libgvplugin_core.5.dylib loadimage

and

Error: failed to init libltdl

and

Renderer type: "ps" not recognized. Use one of: canon cmap cmapx dia  
dot fig gd gd2 gif hpgl imap ismap map mif mp pcl pic plain plain-ext  
png ps ps2 svg svgz tk vml vrml vtx wbmp xdot

I've tried using a separate install of GraphViz, but then I run into  
a tangle of library dependancies that I haven't been able to quite  
work out.

Has anyone successfully used dot output with OS X? If so, what's the  
magic recipe?

Thanks in advance
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

I've been using dot output on OS X for at least 2 years, maybe 3.  
Started under 10.4 on a PPC, and currently on an Intel Mac PRo running  
10.5.3. I am currently using Doxygen version 1.5.3 and Graphviz  
version 1.13.

I installed GraphViz.app from a binary distribution. It is not on my  
path. My doxyfile defines a lot of stuff, but I think this is what is  
important:

DOT_PATH = ../../../../common/thirdPartyTools/Graphviz.app/Contents/
MacOS

SHORT_NAMES = YES

HAVE_DOT = YES

Note that the DOT_PATH points inside the Graphviz.app package.

Also note that the SHORT_NAMES = YES is very important on OS X.  
Otherwise, your error log will be filles with error messages about  
*.map files that can't be included.

I have also found that, despite ehat the documentation for HAVE_DOT  
says, if I set it to NO, then dot is not found, and if I set it to  
YES, dot is found on the path that I specified in DOT_PATH.

Other than that, I just have all the settings about what diagrams I  
want. It seems to work just fine.
