I need to build the log4cxx library on a SuSE linux system where I am not root. The package manager, zypper, apparently does not know about log4cxx.
I download log4cxx and try to build with autotools
./configure
checking for APR... no
configure: error: APR could not be located. Please use the --with-apr option.
I then search for libapr:
find / -name libapr*
/usr/share/doc/packages/libapr-util1
/usr/share/doc/packages/libapr1
/usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0.3.12
/usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0.4.5
/usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0
/usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0
So I try
./configure --with-apr=/usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0
configure: error: the --with-apr parameter is incorrect. It must specify an install prefix, a build directory, or an apr-config file.
The same for --with-apr=/usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0.4.5 and --with-apr=/usr/lib64/.
Which file does ./configure look for? What does --with-apr expect? Is one of the two *.so.* files the needed library?
On software.opensuse.org someone has packages built for recent versions of openSUSE as well as SLE at liblog4cxx10. Maybe that'll work for you instead of building your own.
