C++ Logging: Any recommendations?

[gvanto]

I was wondering what people reckon a good way of logging in C++ would be? Coming from a java background, I very much like log4j's system: - it handles file output (and sizing) automatically - very configurable - easy to install and use in eclipse Now, I've come across two loggers for C++ which seem to be the C++ version of log4j: log4cxx (by apache) and log4cpp (by someone else: http://log4cpp.sourceforge.net/[^] ) OK, so first attempt at getting log4cxx working in Eclipse (running on kubuntu) was not fruitful: The apache website, nor anywwhere else has much info on getting log4cxx up and running in eclipse. (after installing log4cxx via "sudo aptitude install liblog4cxx9c2a" and including the header files in my c++ project in eclipse, it says it cant find the header files... i've searched and cant find them either !) I would so love to use log4cxx since it was built by Apache and probably works really well but I really dont want to waste hours again trying to get it to work in Eclipse (or anywwhere else for that matter). Same with log4cpp IF anyone knows of a good logging library / class which handles (log)file creation automatically and is easily used within eclipse, it would be much appreciated !!!! gvanto c++ logging newbie

How about Windows Event Log?
