From fdc62abdc113ea63dc867375bd49ef3043dcd290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Luke Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 09:44:47 -0500 Subject: Repair Doxygen build infrastructure After Gerrit 4430 much of the documentation failed to build, but silently so it was easily missed; equally missing that several paths have been missing for a while. - Correct paths after directory tree changes. - Doxygen now bails when input paths don't exist. - Fix up some of the less deranged entries in the documentation index. - Exclude the LUA tree, its documentation is a mess.
