\src\log4cxx\build\release\shared

Add log4cxx.lib to the Visual Studio Project (Project, Properties, Linker, Input, Additional Dependencies):

Add the following directory to the Visual Studio Project (Project, Properties, C/C++, General, Additional Include Directories):

\src\log4cxx\include

Copy the log4cxx.dll file into the project. This file is in the following folder:

\src\log4cxx\build\release\shared\

Create a log4cxx.properties file in the same folder as the project file (e.g. my-project.vcproj). This configuration will write the log file in the same folder:

log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout, R

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

# Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number.
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n

log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=logger.log

log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB

# Keep one backup file
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1

log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
