log4cxx - Building Apache log4cxx with Apache Maven 2

Building Apache log4cxx with Apache Maven 2

Apache Maven 2 is used to generate the release assemblies and generate product documentation. It delegates to CMake to build and test log4cxx and can be used as an alternate front end to the CMake build process since it can automatically download and use cmake, and log4j.

Quick start:

Install Apache Maven 2.0.8 or later.

Install APR and APR-Util.

Building and testing log4cxx on a Unix platform with packaged APR and APR-Util.

   sudo apt-get install libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev doxygen
   cd apache-log4cxx-x.x.x
   export PATH=/home/myself/maven-3.6.3/bin:$PATH
   mvn package

Building and testing log4cxx on a Microsoft Windows with APR, Expat and APR-Util built from source extracted into apr-1.7.0, libexpat(from github) and apr-util-1.6.1 in %HOMEPATH%\Libraries.

   cd %HOMEPATH%\Libraries
   cmake -S libexpat\expat -B buildtrees\expat -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
   cmake --build buildtrees\expat --target install --config Release
   cmake -S apr-1.7.0 -B buildtrees\apr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
   cmake --build buildtrees\apr --target install --config Release
   set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
   cmake -S apr-util-1.6.1 -B buildtrees\apr-util -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
   cmake --build buildtrees\apr-util --target install --config Release
   cd apache-log4cxx-x.x.x
   set PATH=%MAVEN_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
   mvn package
