Log4xx as Cocoa framework?

Question

We're currently using log4xx on OS X as .dylib and having frequent runtime problems with applications failing to load the library, wrong paths, multiple libraries in each framework they're used in.

Is there an existing project using log4xx as an OS X framework?

The currrent Xcode projects in log4xx just build dylibs so wondering if there's any particular reason or what would break if using log4xx as a framework on OS X?

Answer 1

Most the time when I want to use a third-party framework, instead of hassling with the framework itself I just drop the actual source files into my Xcode project and compile and link them directly. It’s amazing how many things will work without modification this way.

Answer 2

FWIW, the log4xx project has moved to Apache and they've just kicked off development of a new release after a couple of quiet years:

http://incubator.apache.org/projects/log4cxx2.html

Bugs and suggestions - such as better OS X integration - can be logged here:

Answer 3

FWIW - after having multiple issues converting the log4cxx into a framework (it's a .dylib with a JAM makefile in the current distribution) I've scrapped the approach and went straight to Boost.Log..
