<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>

<div class="section"><h3>Platform specific notes:</h3>
<div class="section"><h4>Mac OS/X:</h4>
<p>APR and APR-Util are provided by the platform in Mac OS/X 10.5 and iODBC in 10.4.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4>Debian:</h4>
<p>APR, APR-Util and zip may be installed by:</p>
<div class="source"><pre>$ sudo apt-get install libapr1.0-dev libaprutil1.0-dev zip</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4>FreeBSD:</h4>
<p>APR, APR-Util and zip may be installed from the ports collection by:</p>
<div class="source"><pre># cd /usr/ports/archivers/zip
# make
# make install
# cd /usr/ports/devel/apr
# make
# make install</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4>Cygwin:</h4>
<p>Install zip (used by RollingFileAppender) and sed (used to normalize output files for comparison in the unit tests). The prepackaged APR currently available from Cygwin has APR_HAS_THREADS == 0. Some appenders will not be available and some may operate with reduced functionality. There have been reports of building APR on Cygwin with threads enabled.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4>MinGW:</h4>
<p>Recent APR 1.2.x releases fail ./configure with a error of &quot;decision on anonymous shared memory failed&quot;. That issue has been fixed in the current APR SVN HEAD. The follow sequence worked with MSYS (with Python on Path):</p>
<div class="source"><pre>$ cd expat-2.0.1
$ ./configure
$ make install
$ cd ..
$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk apr
$ cd apr
$ ./buildconf.sh
$ ./configure
$ make install
$ cd ..
$ svn co \
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/trunk \
apr-util
$ cd apr-util
$ ./buildconf.sh
$ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local --with-expat=/usr/local
$ make install
$ cd ../apache-log4cxx-0.10.0
$ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local \
--with-apr-util=/usr/local --with-logchar=wchar_t
$ make install</pre>
</div>
<p>Running &quot;make 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>
