Using log4cxx, building with ant

[Staffan Vilcans <st...@jadestone.se>]

I have managed to build log4cxx and have received a file called 
liblog4cxx.la that I suspect I should link to my project (the 
documentation doesn't say much about how to actually use log4cxx in a 
project). The problem is that my project uses ant (with <cc> ) to build 
and not plain vanilla make. I have tried to add it using
<fileset dir="/home/staffanv/log4cxx-0.9.7/src" includes="liblog4cxx.la"/>
but all I get for my effort is "file not recognized: Unknown file format".

Any ideas?

You shouldn't try to link it as a fileset. Instead use <linkerarg> such as
<linkerarg value="-llog4cxx"/>

That should do the trick.

Use

<libset dir="/home/staffanv/log4cxx-0.9.7/src" libs="log4cxx"/>

The CVS HEAD of log4cxx also uses ant + cc to build and fixes a large 
number of issues (but has several issues outstanding).  If you are just 
getting started, I would recommend starting with the CVS HEAD.
