SMTP and ODBC options can depend on libraries that that have different licenses. You should review the corresponding licenses and understand the implications before redistribution.
Platform specific notes:
Mac OS/X:
APR and APR-Util are provided by the platform in Mac OS/X 10.5 and iODBC in 10.4.
Debian:
APR, APR-Util and zip may be installed by:
- $ sudo apt-get install libapr1.0-dev libaprutil1.0-dev zip
FreeBSD:
APR, APR-Util and zip may be installed from the ports collection by:
- # cd /usr/ports/archivers/zip
- # make
- # make install
- # cd /usr/ports/devel/apr
- # make
- # make install
Cygwin:
Install zip (used by RollingFileAppender) and sed (used to normalize output files for comparison in the unit tests). The prepackaged APR currently available from Cygwin has APR_HAS_THREADS == 0. Some appenders will not be available and some may operate with reduced functionality. There have been reports of building APR on Cygwin with threads enabled.
MinGW:
Recent APR 1.2.x releases fail ./configure with a error of "decision on anonymous shared memory failed". That issue has been fixed in the current APR SVN HEAD. The follow sequence worked with MSYS (with Python on Path):
- $ cd expat-2.0.1
- $ ./configure
- $ make install
- $ cd ..
- $ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk apr
- $ cd apr
- $ ./buildconf.sh
- $ ./configure
- $ make install
- $ cd ..
- $ svn co \
- https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/trunk \
- apr-util
- $ cd apr-util
- $ ./buildconf.sh
- $ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local --with-expat=/usr/local
- $ make install
- $ cd ../apache-log4cxx-0.10.0
- $ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local \
- --with-apr-util=/usr/local --with-logchar=wchar_t
- $ make install
Running "make check" was observed to fail with unexpected exceptions in streamtestcase and datetimedateformattestcase. See LOGCXX-244.
