Hi Tomas,
I'm not sure what the log4cxx developers would say, but I'm in a very similar boat. I wasn't a big fan of using the HEAD version either, but from what I understand 0.9.7 is not recommended for production use (at all). I moved up to the HEAD with a mostly smooth transition. You might encounter some minor build issues depending on your platform. You may also have to adjust how you use log4cxx since the API has changed a little. As for avoiding the installation of log4cxx when distributing the release, I'm planning on statically linking the library so we don't have to worry about versioning of the library...at least until log4cxx 0.10.0 is released. Granted having the release rather than the HEAD would be much better, and you've probably got some good reasons to not go the way I'm going. - Steve _____ From: Tomas Andersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 7:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: When can we expect a new release Hi! I am currently working on a C++ module as part of a big project. This project is to be released in february next year. I dropped the old logging system and I am now using log4cxx 0.9.7 instead. I have however one problem: With dynamic linking everything is working great.. with static linking I have trouble! I don't remember exactly what kind of trouble I had, but I think I had problems with both reading log4cxx.properties settings and with the logging itself. The logging file was not written. I tried to compile the example enclosed but this is not using the static linked library. Maybe this could be a suggestion? Enclose a couple of examples just to test out the log4cxx build - both static and dynamic? I am not very fond of using current HEAD versions of log4cxx into this project and therefore I hoped that a new release would come soon. Do you have any idea of when that could be? I would very much like to avoid installing log4cxx on the target machines when we are distributing the software. BTW Thanks for doing the log4cxx project. I hate bad self written logging modules..=) Best regards Tomas Andersen Software Engineer at moreCom AS Norway
