Doxygen unable to open directory with dot files for state graphs

I'm using Doxygen and dot on Win7 to document my code. I'm trying to include some state diagrams using \dotfile in the comment block at the beginning of some C files.

In the files I have something like

/***************************************************************************//**
 *    ...
 *  \dot
 *  \dotfile state_diagram_1.gv
 *  \enddot 
 *    ...
 ******************************************************************************/

Looking at the doxy.log file shows that Doxygen is unable to open the directory where the .gv files are. I have HAVE_DOT = YES in the doxy.cfg file (and know it works because placing actual dot code between the \dot and \enddot flags works). I have the directory where state_diagram_1.gv is located specified with DOTFILE_DIRS = dot_files in doxy.cfg. The directory dot_files is located at the same level as doxy.cfg. I have tried messing around with what DOTFILE_DIRS is set to (including an absolute path) to no avail.

I have further tried removing the \dot and \enddot flags and I still get this warning regardless: warning: source dot_files is not a readable file or directory... skipping.

I have a python script to generate the Doxygen files. I was assuming that the the directory specified with DOTFILE_DIRS was relative to the doxy.cfg file (because some other things in doxy.cfg are like HTML_OUTPUT). My issue was solved by specifying DOTFILE_DIRS relative to where my python script was located.

Not sure if this fixes the problem, but you should use \dotfile instead of \dot...\enddot, and not put it inside the block.
