From: Atiz on 14 Nov 2006 21:43 Hi all, I have just downloaded log4CPP and am intending to use it for logging and debugging purposes in my c++ project. I'm currently using MS Visual Studio 2005. What I gathered from sourceforge.net is that I should use the files present in msvc6 folder. I have opened it in a new project and have only included log4cpp files and testmain.cpp and tried compiling. On compiling, I have errors of which I'm not sure how to solve these errors: error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Custom Build Step" log4cpp error BK1506 : cannot open file '.\Debug\Appender.sbr': No such file or directory BSCMAKE the rest are all link errors. What should I do to compile them properly? Later if it compiles nicely in this project, I want to use it to log statements in my c++ project. Must I add this project to my existing project? Or is it possible to compile it as a DLL or some log4cpp.properties that I can use in my project? I noticed there is a log4cpp.dll folder too. Thanks in advance for helping! Atiz

Try to turn this off (Project->Settings->C++->Listing Files->Generate Browse Information under VC6.0). Regards, Stuart
From: Atiz on 15 Nov 2006 04:51 Hi there, I've set the browsing information to none but to no avail. Still gives me the same errors. I've found out from the buildlog file, that it tried to find the exes below. I've checked the directory those exes dun exist in there and I've found them in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\ instead. I can't find where to change the build path or whatever that's called that is directing it to there :( I think when I try to set some properties, I spotted a Macro called devEnvDir which points to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ but i can't change it to point other place.

You don't have to do this, as the path of the IDE will not used directly (see the build step for NTEventLogCategories.mc below). > Creating temporary file "c:\Documents and > Settings\hfyap\Desktop\log4cpp-0.3.5rc3\msvc6\log4cppDLL\Release\BAT0000033000744.bat" > with contents > [ > @echo off > > if not exist .\Release md .\Release > > "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio > 8\Common7\IDE\..\..\VC98\Bin\mc.exe" -h .\Release -r .\Release > c:\Documents and > Settings\hfyap\Desktop\log4cpp-0.3.5rc3\msvc6\log4cppDLL\..\NTEventLogCategories.mc Here the C++ compiler mc.exe is called on one of your source files. Note that the path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE is used a base directory only. The actual path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\..\..\VC98\Bin which evaluated to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC98\Bin. > "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Bin\RC.exe" -r > -fo .\Release\NTEventLogCategories.res > .\Release\NTEventLogCategories.rc > > "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio > 8\Common7\IDE\..\..\VC98\Bin\link.exe" /MACHINE:IX86 -dll -noentry > -out:.\Release\NTEventLogAppender.dll > .\Release\NTEventLogCategories.res What exactly is the error message? Please post it here, so that we can see what exactly went wrong in the build process. BTW, I can't see any C++ source codes involved in the build script. Do you have any source added to your project?

Hi, the 2 errors are : Error 1 error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Custom Build Step" log4cppDLL Error 2 error BK1506 : cannot open file '.\Debug\Appender.sbr': No such file or directory BSCMAKE I don't think it's got to do with the source code right? There is one chunk of source codes in the log4cpp that I have d/led lol.
