build problem on cygwin running gcc version 3.3.3

[Raymond Lau <rl...@valicore.com>]

When I tried to build log4cxx by just issuing a "make" command after
running configure,

 

I got the following compilation error:

 

../include/log4cxx/helpers/tchar.h:51: error: 'swprintf' undeclared
(first use this function)

 

Does that has to do with g++ and the std library?

Please work with the CVS HEAD, log4cxx-0.9.7 is extremely out of date  
and has serious bugs.  I can't promise you that the CVS HEAD will  
build out of the box on Cygwin, but at least we can do something  
about it.

FYI: The automake build is not the primary build mechanism for  
log4cxx.  One of the other developers is working on getting it up to  
date, but most builds are done with Ant + cpptasks which supports non  
gcc like compilers and can generate IDE project files.  However, the  
automake build is probably close enough to Cygwin and the oddity of  
the Cygwin environment might trip up Ant+cpptasks,

You may need to manually tweak include/log4cxx/log4cxx.h to set  
LOG4CXX_HAS_WCHAR_T to 0 as I believe that Cygwin's gcc does not  
support the wchar_t (or may not have wcstombs or mbstowcs).
