compile errors log4cxx with __stdcall and Boost 1.47.0

Question

I'll be very pleased if you help.

My IDE is VS2010.

I'm using boost 1.47.0, especially boost::asio.

After some days of developing I decided to add log4cxx.

log4cxx needs to change calling convention to __stdcall

I surprisingly got lots of compiling error. They are ~ 70 errors.

I've googled a bit and found these:

#define BOOST_BIND_ENABLE_STDCALL 
#define BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL

It helps. Now there are just ~10 errors. Here there are:

How can I solve them? Any little ideas or hints?

Answer 1

If your code looks something like:

#include "log4cxx/logger.h"
#include "log4cxx/basicconfigurator.h"
#include "log4cxx/helpers/exception.h"

using namespace log4cxx;
using namespace log4cxx::helpers;

int main()
{
//stuff
}

and you compile with -llog4cxx then you should be fine.

Answer 2

You also need

• #define BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H
• and possibly /Gz (__stdcall)
