fatal error: 'log4cpp/config.h' file not found

[yitian108]

hi, When I use test example to compile the testmain.cpp, it reports the error as title shows, and I checked the include directory, which really does not contains the head file config.h.

Could you please check it? Or can I use other file instead?

Thanks

Please try running ./configure and then compile your application. Basically, it will configure your machine and generate log4cpp/config.h.

In the context of Orocos we typically compile log4cpp with CMake, see orocos_toolchain, or with a build tool like Autoproj or catkin, which also invoke CMake under the hood. With CMake the missing header file is generated here, and the log4cpp unit tests can be built (if enabled) and pass:

cd /path/to/log4cpp
cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=ON .
make check

I am not sure if the autotools-based build method with ./configure works in this fork.
If you are not an Orocos user, it is probably best to start with the upstream version of log4cpp at http://log4cpp.sourceforge.net/.
