RE: Problems building log4cxx 0.9.7 on Windows/CYGWIN

Diego,
I have been building log4cxx on CYGWIN for a while now. I have a pretty much
a stock full install of cygwin, also doxygen. I guess the best way to
describe my environment is to include my file "config.log", it will give you
all the details.

As I have described here before, after building the libraries and doing a
make install, I build dynamic libraries using the following procedure
(hack): -- see attached "doit" file, I am sure email will mangle the long
line that follows:

g++ -shared -o log4cxx.dll -Wl,--out-implib=liblog4cxx.dll.a
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--whole-archive
liblog4cxx.a -Wl,--o-whole-archive '-L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -liconv
-lm' -lxml2 -lz -pthread -liconv -lm

Not sure how I can help: if you like I can zip up my whole directory and
send it to you (or anyone else).

Subject: Problems building log4cxx 0.9.7 on Windows/CYGWIN

Hi:
I've been trying for a couple of days to build the package on Windows, and I
can't get to do it (It built straightforward on Linux). I need to build it
using GNU tools, so I've choosen the CYGWIN aproach.

I've checked the necesary tools from a post in the forum:

         Recommended        My CYGWIN        
Cygwin   version 1.5.10-3   1.5.11.1
Automake version 1.7.9      1.9.2
Autoconf version 2.59       2.59
Libtool  version 1.5        1.5.10                 

I'm also issuing the followong configure (to disable all the things I don't
need and could be source of trouble, at list until I can build once):

./configure --disable-doxygen --disable--html-docs --with-thread=Microsoft
--without-XML --without-ODBC --without-SMTP

I'm not using CYGWIN's gcc, but MinGW (g++:3.2.3 make:3.80), but It
shouldn't be an issue (I think). Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm almost
new at GCC, and completely newbie at CYGWIN.

The autogen.sh & configure steps went Ok (with no remarkable warnings), but
when I "make" at the package-root level I get dozens of errors at the first
compiled source (appenderattachable.cpp). 
Almost all of the errors come from /helpers/tchar.h and from
/spi/loggingevent.h but the remarkable thing is that the problem seems to be
always the same data type: int64_t

I´ve tried both the "distribution" ZIP file version, and the CVS contents,
and I get the same errors on both, so maybe is a platform's issue ? or a
missing environment variable ? .... I'm puzzled cause I really wanted to use
this lib in my project...  :-(

Any help would be appreciated.


I've also read that somebody built the lib with Borland tools. I need to
build the package on Borland (besides GNU) so any help, makefile, or project
for anyone of Borland tools would be VERY useful.

Thanks in advance,
