getting started with log4cpp in windows

Question

I need to do logging in a C++ application. After googling for a while, I decided to use log4cpp.

1. is that a safe option to go with, or is there something better out there?
2. How do I get started with installation and importing it to my application using Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005?

TIA

Answer 1

I've used Log4cpp in the past and it does the job, though bear in mind the project has been inactive since 2007. There are also the following alternatives:

• Apache's log4cxx which is still active.
• Matthew Wilson's Pantheios library.
• Log4cplus.

As for getting started, does the documentation not cover this?
