I give up, how do I build the developer docs in paraview 5.7.0? With 5.6 I did:

make DoxygenDoc ParaViewDoc

but neither target seems to exist now. I am setting -DPARAVIEW\_BUILD\_DEVELOPER\_DOCUMENTATION:BOOL=ON

The target appears to now be called

ParaViewDoxygenDoc

There is also ParaViewPythonDoc and ParaViewDoc-TGZ that may be of interest to you.

Should that be documented somewhere ?

I’d suggest updating the [build.md](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/blob/master/Documentation/dev/build.md)

Thanks everybody. I think the issue is that I tried the new build targets before I realized that BUILD\_DOCUMENTATION had also changed to PARAVIEW\_BUILD\_DEVELOPER\_DOCUMENTATION.
