Unable to get log4cxx-1.0.0 via vcpkg

[Alwyn Mok <c2...@gmail.com>]

Hi Sir/Mdm,



Following the instruction in build-vcpkg.md (Building with vcpkg
{#build-vcpkg})

The default version of log4cxx used is apache-log4cxx-0.13.0 instead of
apache-log4cxx-1.0.0



How may I obtain apache-log4cxx-1.0.0 via vcpkg, in order to build into a
.dll file?



Thanks in advance,

Alwyn Mok

Hi,

Here's a sample project that works for me on linux, it should work on
Windows as well(or at least be easy to modify):
https://github.com/rm5248/log4cxx-vcpkg

If you want to build manually, you'll need to build APR, APR-util, and
expat.  This issue has some notes on it:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-510
It is complicated to do manually, so I do not recommend it.

I'll see about updating the version in vcpkg.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the advice. However, even with the custom port directory for
vcpkg, we can't seem to compile log4cxx-1.0.0 into a .DLL file

Are you able to advise us on the easiest way to be able to compile
log4cxx-1.0.0 into a .DLL file on a Windows machine?

A step-by-step guild would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Alwyn Mok

You will need to make a custom vcpkg ports directory in order to
override what is in vcpkg by default.  Check the documentation for
vcpkg on how to create an overlay ports directory.
