Re: Help: I find it's too hard to build log4cxx on Solaris.

I'm surprised.... I followed the directions, and it built without any problems on the first try...  Solaris 8 (Intel/Sparc)... of course I"m using Forte compilers...

Hi, Everybody,

I want to have a study on log4cxx 0.9.7. But I find it's too hard to build
log4cxx on Solaris. I don't know why  the authors do not publish a ordinary
configure or makefile, but I think many programmers including me will be
very appreciated if they do so.

I follow the INSTALL guide and run ./autogen.sh on my Solaris 9 x86. But
many errors occur and stop me from try log4cxx. The following is the output:

I do not know well about autoconf, so I don't know how to solve this
problem.
I have installed the following programs on my computer:
GNU m4 1.4.1
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.1
gcc 3.4.2
(GNU libtool) 1.5.10
cppunit 1.10.2
libxml2 2.6.4 (I found it need libxml2 when I try to write a makefile for
it, so I installed it)
I don't know if they are enough to build log4cxx.
I tried to write a makefile and added a config_auto.h by myself. I
successfully build the .a file, but when I compile the following program, I
failed.

// My program
#include <log4cxx/logger.h>
#include <log4cxx/basicconfigurator.h>
#include <log4cxx/helpers/exception.h>
#include <log4cxx/propertyconfigurator.h>
#include <log4cxx/xml/domconfigurator.h>
#include <log4cxx/helpers/loglog.h>

using namespace log4cxx;
using namespace log4cxx::helpers;
using namespace log4cxx::xml;

LoggerPtr logger = Logger::getLogger(_T("MyApp"));

class Bar
{
        static log4cxx::LoggerPtr logger;

public:
        void doIt();
};


LoggerPtr Bar::logger = Logger::getLogger(_T("MyApp"));

void Bar::doIt()
{
        logger->debug(_T("Did it again!"));
}


int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
       int result = EXIT_SUCCESS;

       try
       {
               DOMConfigurator::configure(argv[1]);

               logger->info(_T("Entering application."));
               Bar bar;
               bar.doIt();
               logger->info(_T("Exiting application."));
       }
       catch(Exception&)
       {
               result = EXIT_FAILURE;
       }

       return result;
}

How could gcc can't parse the line 10:
using namespace log4cxx::xml;
I am puzzled.
(notes: I build the above program on Windows successfully and get the right
result.)

Eager for any help from anyone who saw this mail. Thank you.
