Re: Problems building with MinGW

Newbie here,

Built a brand new Windows XP SP3 machine,
Installed
MinGW 5.1.4
MSYS 1.0.10
msysDTK 1.0.1
python 2.5.2
expat 2.0.1 (built from source)

which gives me:
autoconf 2.56
automake 1.7.1
g++ 3.4.5
libtool 1.4e

trying to build log4cxx 0.10.0, which depends on expat, apr, apr-util.
Went to build apr from SVN HEAD today 2008-06-26, fails to build
(sorry I can't copy + paste the log from a non-internet machine)
Tried to build the lot with ant (provided by log4cxx) and apr builds
but apr-util doesn't.

From there I went bleeding edge with the 4.x g++ on mingw site and
still couldn't get past apr.  I've spent 2 days now trying different
configurations (even mingwPORT libtool!) to no luck, perhaps I just
haven't hit the perfect combination yet.  I've tried using sources on
the websites for download or direct from SVN HEAD.

From the messages by people like Bob Rossi and Curt Arnold it looks
like this is a frequent problem.

Does anyone know the current way to build 0.10.0?  I found a lot of
posts and guides from 1+ years ago but unfortunately they didn't
resolve the problem, as they were running into different stuff.

Sincerely,
Olivier Beaton
