<div class="section"><h2>Building Apache log4cxx with Apache Ant</h2>
<p><a href="http://ant.apache.org" class="externalLink">Apache Ant</a>
with cpptasks from the <a href="http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net" class="externalLink">Ant-Contrib</a>
project can be used to build log4cxx with supported compilers and is also used to generate the IDE project files included in the releases. The Apache Maven build which is used to generate the site documentation and release packaging delegates to this build. The Ant build can build APR and APR-Util if source is available.</p>
<div class="section"><h3>Quick start:</h3>
<ul><li>Install <a href="http://ant.apache.org" class="externalLink">Apache Ant</a>
1.6.5 or later.</li>
<li>Install cpptasks 1.0b5 or later from the <a href="http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net" class="externalLink">Ant-Contrib Project</a>
. ant-contribs 1.0b3 or later is needed for some less frequent build targets.</li>
<li>Install APR and APR-Util or place source in apr and apr-util directories as a sibling to the log4cxx directory.</li>
<li>Install gzip and zip (used for compression by RollingFileAppender) and sed (used to normalize output files for comparison in unit tests).</li>
<li>Install log4j 1.2. Used in testing of SocketAppender. <p>Building and testing log4cxx on a Unix platform with packaged APR and APR-Util. </p>

<p>All build products will be placed in the target subdirectory. </p>
<p>Project files should be generated after successfully building the library, however it is possible to generate Microsoft Visual Studio project files on other platforms. The project files will typically be missing references to the Platform SDK libraries. The Maven project modifies the generated project files for release preparation. Generation of Xcode projects from Microsoft Windows is not supported.</p>

<p>SMTP and ODBC options can depend on libraries that that have different licenses. You should review the corresponding licenses and understand the implications before redistribution.</p>
<p>Combining -Dlib.type=shared and -Druntime=static is unsafe.</p>
<p>Properties may also be placed in a build.properties file in the log4cxx directory.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h3>Platform specific notes:</h3>
<ul><li>Microsoft Windows<p><a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net" class="externalLink">GnuWin32</a>
provides binary versions of sed, gzip and zip. Alternative, the bin directory of <a href="http://www.cygwin.com" class="externalLink">Cygwin</a>
may be placed on the path.</p>
<p>If -Dwith-SMTP=libesmtp is specified, the build will attempt to build libesmtp from source, unfortunately libesmtp depends on poll.h and will not build.</p>
<p>APR 1.2.12 has a known issue that will prevent compilation with Visual Studio 6 unless a later Platform SDK is installed. See APR bug <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?44327" class="externalLink">44327</a>
. APR 1.2.11 and the corresponding APR-Util 1.2.10 will compile with Visual Studio 6. </p>
</li>
<li>Cygwin:<p>gcc 3.x does not provide wchar_t support which needs to be explicitly disabled. The Win32 path to the APR libraries need to be provided (CYGWIN_HOME/lib) if compiling against an installed APR and APR-Util.</p>
<div class="source"><pre>$ cd apache-log4cxx-0.10.0
$ ant -Dos.family=cygwin \
-Dwith-apr=/cygwin/lib \
-Dwith-apr-util=/cygwin/lib \
-Denable-wchar_t=0</pre>
</div>
</li>
<li>MinGW:<div class="source"><pre>$ cd apache-log4cxx-0.10.0
$ path c:\mingw\bin;%PATH%
$ ant -Dcompiler=gcc -Dfind=false build-all
$ cd src\test\resources
$ set TOTO=wonderful
$ set key1=value1
$ set key2=value2
$ ..\..\..\target\debug\shared\testsuite -v
$ ..\..\..\target\debug\shared\trivial
$ ..\..\..\target\debug\shared\stream </pre>
</div>
<p>Running &quot;ant check&quot; was observed to fail with unexpected exceptions in streamtestcase and datetimedateformattestcase. See <a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-244" class="externalLink">LOGCXX-244</a>
.</p>
</li>
<li>Debian:<p>Apache APR, APR-Util, Ant and log4j and zip may be installed using:</p>
<div class="source"><pre>$ sudo apt-get install libapr1.0-dev libaprutil1.0-dev \
ant ant-optional liblog4j1.2-java zip</pre>
</div>
</li>
<li>Mac OS/X:<p>APR and APR-Util are provided by the platform in Mac OS/X 10.5 and iODBC in 10.4.</p>
<p>Site generation requires &quot;doxygen&quot; command on path which can be provided by installing Doxygen.app and then setting the path like:</p>
<div class="source"><pre>$ setenv PATH /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources:$PATH</pre>
</div>
