Arch Linux

Doxygen has the ability to convert files generated with dia the eg. png directly using the directive @diafile

https://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/commands.html#cmddiafile

When used, I get the following error message from dia via doxygen:

** (dia:7337): CRITICAL **: 21:17:38.231: Can't find output format/filter png-libart

Let's check that:

no png-libart in --filter=TYPE. Ok, let's compile from upstream:

Unfortunately doxygen cannot be configured to alter the export filter for dia, it's hard coded in sources.

Is this maybe a compile-time dependency?
