No, doxygen uses old Unix style ./configure scripts & Makefiles ;-)

The problem is most likely that I switched to a newer Qt version while migrating to \
Mavericks and this version  didn't set the -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 explicitly, and \
then the default is to build for the latest greatest only (why Apple, why?)

The Doxygen package consists of the GUI (Doxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/Doxywizard) and \
the command line tool (Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen). The command line tool \
does work on 10.5 (as you can check with otool).

So while I figure out how to fix this, as a workaround you could also
- use the command line tool directly
- copy the latest doxygen command line tool over an older doxygen package where the \
wizard still works  (then you won't be able to configure the most recently added \
options, but other than that you should be fine).

Regards,
  Dimitri
