Use maven, it's easy to install as well and will download cpptasks
form a maven repository as Jar, else you might download it manually
form whatever source you like. But I would prefer using maven, that's
what I did as well.

Regarding the logs, fallbackerrorhandler.h has not been touched since
0.10.0. And regarding ODBC, I guess you just need to deactivate it for
the build as I said before.

Hi Thorsten,
This is discouraging. :( In the research I had done, log4cxx kept turning up
as recommended software and that it was compilable under VC6. I guess that must
have been true of the latest stable release, 0.10.0. It doesn't sound like the
newer/next release of log4cxx can be built under VC6 any more. I guess it's not
too surprising since VC6 is pretty old. Oh well, I tried, and thanks very much
for your help. I still want to try to use log4cxx since it is so highly
recommended, I'll just have to try a newer version of VC.

Sorry, I've missed the link. Regarding ODBC, it seems intptr_t is
missing and needs to be included from somewhere, MSDN suggests
stddef.h. I've implemented a workaround for a maybe similar problem
for C++ Builder, but just can't remember anymore if it was for the
same missing types. Doesn't matter, the important thing is that it's
only applied if C++ Builder is the chosen compile, therefore the
workaround may work for you as well. Search apr-util-build.xml for
"bcc-needs-stdint" and do what it does manually to the mentioned
header file, either with the included stated there or stddef.h or
where ever the missing type comes from. If that fixes some of the ODBC
compile errors we can think of a way to include this workaround in the
build as well.

That's bad, you need to test that on your own using #ifdef ... and
#error in expat.h right before the macro gets defined there.

I guess the warnings there are because of your old compiler, that's
something you need to fiddle on your own... The ODBC error may be
removed using "with-ODBC=no", because the default behavior is "auto",
which enables ODBC by default on Windows. The documentation is wrong
in that part, I fixed that on trunk already but didn't update the
site.
Regarding fallbackerrorhandler.h, I guess the problem here is with
your old compiler as well, but have no idea right now. Have a look at
the file and object.h for the cast macros and see if you somehow can
get them working by rewriting or if they are needed at all...
Sorry, but I don't have the time to look into this any more detailed.

Hi Thorsten,
> You need to provide all of the errors
I thought I did. I provided a link to the complete compile log, with all
errors, here: http://pastebin.com/zpKfm7i9
Regarding the problem with XMLPARSEAPI:
> No idea currently, only found the following which suggests you are
> defining the same macro differently for some reason.
I did a search through my build folders apache-ant-1.9.4, apache-log4cxx-
from-svn.140907, apache-maven-3.2.3, apr, apr-util and there is only one file
that defines XMLPARSEAPI: apr-util\xml\expat\lib\expat.h
If XMLPARSEAPI is being defined differently, it isn't by me that I know of,
since I'm using expat.h as provided by apr-util. In fact, I have not even
attempted to add my own code anywhere since I just want to get log4cxx
compiled.
To see if I could make some progress in getting log4cxx to build, I decided
to temporarily disable ODBC by editing apr-util\include\apu.hw and setting
APU_HAVE_ODBC to zero. Here's the complete log: http://pastebin.com/qcHmZX4f
No error 2 anymore but now there are new and different error and warning
messages. I highlighted them in yellow to make it easy to scroll to them.

You need to provide all of the errors, ODBC should be activated by
default. There might be some problem with your old VC6, I guess only
few people are using it anymore. The build generates or edits some
header files as well, have a look around apu.h*. For some compilers,
like Borland C++ Builder, I had to change the build to include
stdint.h for example, maybe your are missing some headers as well.

No idea currently, only found the following which suggests you are
defining the same macro differently for some reason.

Error code 2 normally means a missing file somewhere, you may use
Process Monitor from Sysinternals to follow the build process and see
which file is missing or try "mvn -X ..." which generates a lot of
debug output.

Hi Thorsten,
You're right -- I downloaded only src by mistake and not trunk so pom.xml
was missing because of that.
I downloaded the latest trunk this morning and have new and different build
errors. Complete log is here: http://pastebin.com/zpKfm7i9
Short version:
1) Multiple errors when building apr_dbd_odbc.c. Of course, odbc is one of
the appenders I do want to use with log4cxx. :(
2) Identical error when compiling xmlparse.c and apr_xml.c:
[cc] C:\Documents and Settings\taa\Desktop\project92\apr-
util\xml\expat\lib\expat.h(83) : note C6311: unknown(0) : see previous
definition of 'XMLPARSEAPI'
3) Ending build errors:

It normally isn't, it doesn't matter which client or OS you use to
checkout, you should always get the same content. Did you maybe only
checkout "src" instead of trunk?

That shouldn't be necessary and is unsupported by Subversion as well,
you should avoid such things. Instead checkout using Tortoise again
and double check the paths you select in the browser and get
afterwards in your file system. I user Tortoise myself, there really
is no problem with checking out trunk or whatever. I even checked out
the whole directory structure with all tags and branches.

This is by default available on newer versions of Windows, so just buy
a Windows 8 and get happy. ;-) I removed the logic which used
where.exe, it has been introduced to make the build usable with
another compiler, but it looks as if this goal can't be reached with
the current approach anyways. So update your trunk and give it another
try.

Just to clarify, after I did 'svn checkout' on my Linux box I transferred
the etnire contents to Win XP. I'm still doing the build on Win XP and not
Linux.

Hi Thorsten,
I had used TortoiseSVN Repository Browser to download trunk and didn't
realize it would be incomplete. I did an 'svn checkout' on my Linux box to
get a brand new copy of trunk as of Sep 5, 2014. Now 'mvn package' gets a
lot further, but now it gives a build failure with the following message:
-----

pom.xml is the file and needed and should be contained in your
checkout, depending on what you checked out exactly you might just be
in the wrong path. You need to execute maven directly from the
directory containing pom.xml, should be trunk.

Hi again Thorsten,
I appreciate your patience as I work through all these dependencies.
I downloaded and extracted the latest stable version of Maven:
C:\Documents and Settings\taa>mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.2.3 (33f8c3e1027c3ddde99d3cdebad2656a31e8fdf4; 2014-08-
11T13:58:10-07:00)
Maven home: C:\Documents and Settings\taa\Desktop\project92\apache-
maven-3.2.3
Java version: 1.8.0_20, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_20\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows xp", version: "5.1", arch: "x86", family: "dos"
I'm now attempting to follow your advice to use Maven and perform the steps
here: http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/building/maven.html (I hope it's not
a problem that I'm using the latest version of Maven, 3.x, and not 2.x as
listed in this URL.)
Following the steps under "Building and testing log4cxx on a Microsoft
Windows with APR and APR-Util built from source," Maven is complaining there
is no POM file. Full log is here: http://pastebin.com/3b76Dmby
I tried doing 'mvn clean' but it gave the same "missing POM" error.
So a new dependency has surfaced: Where do I get the necessary POM file?
