Generating the website

Prerequisites

You will need:

  1. A recent version of doxygen; The currently used version is 1.9.8. The doxygen binary needs to be in the $PATH.
  2. The m4 command, which can be installed with sudo apt install m4.
  3. A recent version of Jekyll (see https://jekyllrb.com/), which will generate the static html pages. The currently used jekyll version is 4.2.2. Also a recent version of bundler is required; this can be installed with:
    gem install jekyll:4.2.2
    gem install bundler:2.1.4
    
  4. Checkout the repo to generate the website via git clone git@github.com:peter-ha/qskinny-website.git
  5. Checkout the live website repository via git clone git@github.com:qskinny/qskinny.github.io.git

Generating the website

Generating the API documentation with doxygen

cd ~/dev/qskinny/doc
export PATH=.:$PATH
doxygen

This will generate the documentation into the api folder.

Testing and building the website locally

First copy the generated files from above to the website repo:

cp -r api ~/dev/qskinny-website/docs/

Then test the website locally:

cd ~/dev/qskinny-website
bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

Then direct your browser to http://127.0.0.1:4000/.

If all looks good, generate the static HTML website:

bundle exec jekyll build

Publishing the website

Just copy over the generated HTML files to the public website repo and push a new version of the homepage:

cp -r _site/* ~/dev/qskinny.github.io/
cd ~/dev/qskinny.github.io/
git commit -a -m "new version"  # you might want to add new files
gith push

That's it, the new website is now published at https://qskinny.github.io/ .
