I probably am doing something wrong somewhere but ant -Dcompiler=CC results in miles and miles of compiler errors. as far as I can gather it does appear as if ant does not detect various aspects correctly e..g sigwait taking only one argument and hundreds more such things. Ant+cpptasks doesn't attempt to do any capability sniffing.  That is like blaming make for a problem in configure.  log4cxx doesn't call sigwait directly, so you are likely seeing an APR build problem, though maybe one that is specific to how log4cxx builds APR. i am very dissapointed as I really wanted to use this on Solaris but I can only conclude that if you are not an expert on ant and the likes, you will never get it to compile. There appear to be several issues with log4cxx on Solaris.  Maybe some are related to the use of ant but it appears that at least some of them are related to other issues.  I've got an x86 Solaris media kit at home and one of my to-do list items is to get a Solaris build machine up so I can knock these down. I am not even starting to talk to get it compiled 64-bit which is how I really have to compile it. the log4cxx community would probably make some people very happy to get it working on Solaris as easy as it is on Linux as the mailing lists does indicate a lot of interrest on using it on Solaris. I've added bug logcxx-92 (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-92) for this and marked it as blocking our next release 0.9.8.   Before 0.9.8, we should have Solaris builds with both autotools or ant.
