I've tried quite hard to get this working but have only got as far as getting
configure to run to completion without error.
What I have done is:
Install MinGW with:
mingw-developer-toolkit
mingw32-base
Additionally install in MinGW:
mingw32_expat bin
mingw32-libexpat dev
mingw32-libexpat dll
msys-libopenssl dev
Set MSYS CPATH environment variable to C:\mingw\msys\1.0\include
Set MSYS LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to C:\mingw\msys\1.0\lib
Download the Unix Source for Apache Portable Runtime (apr-1.4.8.tar.gz)
uncompress
extract
./configure
make
make install
Add /usr/local/apr/bin to the PATH in /etc/profile
Download the source code for Perl Compatible Regular Expression
(pcre-8.33.tar.gz)
uncompress
extract
./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-pcre16 --enable-pcre32
--enable-unicode-properties --enable-newline-is-any --disable-cpp
make
make install
Download the source code for nxlog (nxlog-ce-2.5.1089.tar.gz)
uncompress
extract
./configure
make then fails with many compilation errors, most of them "error: unknown type
name 'boolean'"
I would really like a definitive set of build instructions, which I believe are
supposed to be provided under the terms of the LGPL and GPL.

Hi,
The build system is gnu style using autotools and gcc. On windows it needs
mingw and msys to be able to run configure && make.
