Hi Thorsten, Thanks for your help. So far I've done the following: 1. Downloaded latest (as of 08/26/2014) log4cxx from trunk and put it in directory called: apache-log4cxx-from-svn 2. Installed jdk-8u20-windows-i586 3. Went here http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/building/ant.html 4. Downloaded and extracted apache-ant-1.9.4-bin.zip. 5. Followed the steps in my extracted copy of apache-ant- 1.9.4/manual/index.html for Windows to set ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME, and added %ANT_HOME%\bin to PATH. 6. Changed to %ANT_HOME% and ran: ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=system This resulted in a successful build message. 7. Downloaded and extracted cpptasks-1.0b5.zip. 8. The steps at http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/ say to, "See the cc tasks for installation instructions for cpptasks." When I go to the link for 'cc' (http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/cpptasks/index.html) it says, "Place cpptasks.jar into Ant's classpath by placing in Ant's lib directory..." But now I'm stuck because there is no cpptasks.jar in cpptasks-1.0b5.zip. What is my next step?
