Running doxygen command on windows #68

Closed garrettseepersad closed 3 years ago

garrettseepersad commented 3 years ago

I was trying to compile Doxygen on my windows machine and I have installed Doxygen, jinja2 and Pygments . The following is the error message I received after running the command below. Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue?

Hm unfortunately I don't have Windows, so I can't reproduce the issue, but have you installed Doxygen and necessary python dependencies?

usually,

pip3 install jinja2 Pygments

but as the error says libgs not found, perhaps also

pip3 install libgs

would work.

Tried, but libgs had some older version requirements :(

Unfortunately don't have the time to look further into it. I am okay with compiling on Linux.

Thanks for creating the boiler-plate.... it's a life saver
