Minimum version for doxygen

Issue #851 new
Chris Richardson created an issue

I just had a failed compile because an old version of doxygen created a useless docstrings.i file. We need to have a version check in CMakeLists.txt

    How old? I already have a workaround for version doxygen 1.8.13 which has a large regression (segfaults while parsing the dolfin code). See issue #849. If we knew the minimum required version it would be very easy to do something similar for versions older than that

    Yes, it is tricky, given that some of the latest versions are not working either. I just had a couple of systems with 1.5 and 1.6 editions of doxygen, which caused major meltdowns. Maybe we can have a whitelist of known working versions, and later?

    Yes, I already compiled quite some versions of doxygen to test, so I can probably compile some more to see which versions work
