Not to worry Dale, there are already instructions for building with VC http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/building/vstudio.html and they work rather well, I used them just the other day (took about 5 minutes to build log4cxx).
The project I am involved in is built both on linux and on windows, using gcc g++ mingw on windows, and gcc g++ on linux. Our IDE is eclipse CDT on both operating systems. We only use cross-platform libraries, like boost, xercesc, and hoping to use log4cxx. So there are advantages to using a non-windows specific toolchain, the problem here was that apr was broken at the moment for the windows version of that toolchain (mingw). Olivier Beaton
