Regression: Specified markdown mainpage '...md' has not been defined as input file

[melroy89]

Describe the bug

Regression impact:

error: Specified markdown mainpage '../doxygen_mainpage.md' has not been defined as input file (warning treated as error, aborting now)

However, I did specify this file also as INPUT=.... See my config below.

With an older Doxygen version the build went fine. And yes, the ../ is intentional, since I'm within a sub-folder (build directory).

Expected behavior

No error message and successful Doxygen build.

Screenshots

To Reproduce

1. Upgrade to the latest Doxygen version (=1.9.7).
2. Use a custom markdown mainpage using USE_MDFILE_AS_MAINPAGE
3. Provide the markdown also within the INPUT
4. Error!

See config: Doxyfile.conf.tar.gz

Version

Doxygen v1.9.7 (latest atm)

Additional context

v1.9.3 used to work fine, until this binary was not available anymore, so I needed to upgrade see commit.

Aside from the screenshot, you can see the same error appear in GitHub Actions: https://github.com/vasild/cpp-ipfs-http-client/actions/runs/5171107038/jobs/9314441295

I've just pushed a proposed patch, pull request #10112

You can overcome the problem by using in your Doxyfile constructs like: @CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR@/doxygen_mainpage.md and use the construct configure_file of CMake. This makes your Doxyfile also independent of the place where the build directory is located.
