      Work Description: ams-tschoening commented on issue #3: LOGCXX-494: windows cmake build for log4cxx against apr-2
URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4cxx/pull/3#issuecomment-356979649
 
 
   Just some notes: While it has been discussed in the past to move to CMAKE already, keep in mind that the current build based on Autotools and/or Maven and/or Ant deals with things like projetc files generation, website generation, development iteration incl. version numbers etc. as well. So it's not only about adding CMAKE support, but one needs to ultimately decide which parts of the current build tools are kept and all that.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Build
>    Affects Versions: 0.10.0
>         Environment: Windows, any flavor
>            Reporter: James E. King III

> In version 0.10.0 all windows project files were removed from the repository.
> The apr project which log4cxx depends on provides both a static project file (which I would discourage) as well as a cmake build environment for windows (which can generate a solution for any version of Visual Studio).
> The improvement request is to provide a cmake build environment for log4cxx.
> I believe it would be acceptable to tie this to the apr-2 project, given that apr-util folded into apr about 5 years ago... when will apr-2 be released?
> The web site documentation for building on Visual Studio is ancient (10+ years old):
> https://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/latest_stable/building/vstudio.html
> This should also be updated.
