QtCreator and doxygen

I need QtCreator with the doxygen plugin, possibly a recent version.

It seems to be necessary to build QtCreator from source to do it, but the information I could find are quite outdated (e.g. http://wiki.qt.io/Doxygen_Plugin_for_QtCreator is about QtCreator 2.7.0, while today the latest version is 3.5.0 beta 1).

Is the latest plugin version compatible with the latest QtCreator?
Are those instructions still valid?
Are there any prebuilt QtCreator binaries with the Doxygen plugin already included?

there is indeed not much information about the plugin and I think is no longer maintained. But you can achieve pretty much everything without the plugin.

If you need to access your docs from your sources in Qt Creator, you can compile your regular doxygen-generated docs using qhelpgenerator and then import them into Qt Creator.

Add this to your Doxyfile:

GENERATE_QHP       = YES
QHP_NAMESPACE      = "my_namespace"
QCH_FILE           = "my_docs.qch"
QHG_LOCATION       = "path/to/qhelpgenerator"

Run doxygen Doxyfile.

And import the my_docs.qch file into Qt Creator (Tools/Options/Help/Documentation). You'll have access to your docs using F1.

You can even use recent versions of Qt Creator (3.6.0) and Doxygen (1.8.11).
