Building with msys264 & mingw64 (gcc 8.2)

[yRezaei]

First of all thanks a lot for sharing your solution. After a long search, this was the only project that compiled and worked perfectly with VS2017.

My problem is that I forced to build log4cxx with GCC in windows and whatever I tried haven't worked so far. Only with the CMakeLists.txt file that you are provided, I managed to build apr.a, apr-util.a, and XML.a Unfortunately, the log4cxx has some wired issue. The first issue is: In file included from C:/PROGRA~1/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/guiddef.h:149, from C:/PROGRA~1/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/winnt.h:635, from C:/PROGRA~1/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/minwindef.h:163, from C:/PROGRA~1/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/windef.h:8, from C:/PROGRA~1/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/windows.h:69, from D:/libs/log4cxx/log4cxxWin32/cmake/build-gcc/apr.h:98, from D:\libs\log4cxx\log4cxxWin32\apr\file_io\win32\filepath.c:17: C:/PROGRA~1/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/string.h:119: note: this is the location of the previous definition

I got rid of this issue by commenting out the "#include " which is included in the header file "mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include**wtyps.h**".

The second issue is with a weird error is: ... ...

any idea how to solve this one?

I get rid of the first error by deep patching the project itself. Now I am working on this. I think, this is a kind of jrl-cmakemodules issue

[twdragon]

There are some issues with MSVC pragmas in the source, so to avoid the error, you should just patch makefiles after CMake ends:

sed -i -e 's/\/wd4101\ \/wd4250\ \/wd4251\ \/wd4275\ \/wd4355//' "${BUILD_DIR}/CMakeFiles/log4cxx.dir/link.txt"
sed -i -e 's/\/wd4101\ \/wd4250\ \/wd4251\ \/wd4275\ \/wd4355//' "${BUILD_DIR}/CMakeFiles/log4cxx.dir/flags.make"
