Robert Middleton commented on LOGCXX-510:
-----------------------------------------
A note on the testing path: I encountered this the other week working on some
Github actions, and it seems to be dependent on how windows finds DLLs:
[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-search-order#standard-search-order-for-desktop-applications]
I (partially) fixed it in this commit:
[https://github.com/rm5248/logging-log4cxx/commit/3aa1812a1e2932d77add7c765f5e7d7aab335784#diff-930b1cecbcd3f0be696b6238ec765675]
It seems that Steven Webb at least did some stuff in the CMakeLists.txt in the
test directory to handle this by adding the directory that the DLLs reside in
to the PATH when running the tests.

I haven't done a PR for this branch, as there's a rather significant number of
test failures on Windows. I tried to download a VM from Microsoft for Windows
development, but Visual Studio as installed keeps having a lot of problems with
CMake for some reason... (latest build on the branch:
https://github.com/rm5248/logging-log4cxx/runs/977985817)

> I just tested building log4cxx using CMAKE and Visual Studio 2019 Community.
> Things failed and I want to use this bug to document everything that I've
> found, because for some things I'm not sure how to handle them properly. Will
> create a new branch to maintain the fixes I came along, so that those can at
> best be later reviewed by others. The branch of interest is currently named
> "logcxx_510_cmake_vs2019_compat".
