Building log4cxx 0.9.7 with MinGW and MSYS (no cygwin)

[Enno Borgsteede <en...@chello.nl>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build version 0.9.7 under MinGW on XP Home. I'm running 
MinGW with MSYS and msysDTK, not CYGWIN. Searching the list archive 
didn't provide a solution, so here's a summury of what I tried.

1. I found that configure can't figure out whether threads are 
available. It stops with an error, but I can avoid that by specifying 
--with-threads=no on the command line.
2. Then compilation stops, because the type int64_t is not recognized. I 
can cure that too, by defining int64_t as __int64 in config.h.
3. I can't easily get past the third hurdle, which is the compiler 
complaining that the thread() object does not exist. I can't find an 
easy cure for that, so I'm stuck here.

I can think of several options, but maybe someone else has tried this 
before, and give me directions:
1. Is --with-threads=no the right choice?
2. I use the latest versions of MinGW and MSYS. Would it help if I 
upgrade the compiler?
I prefer not to upgrade to cygwin, because I like the MinGW philosophy 
better.

thanks,

Enno

I cant say that I have compiled for a pure MingW environment, but I would
pull the Cygnus libpthread for win32, specify that for  thread and it should
move the build ahead.
