Log4Qt is a C++ port of the Apache Software Foundation Log4j package using the Qt Framework. It is intended to be used by open source and commercial Qt projects.

http://log4qt.sourceforge.net/

This Log4Qt repository is a clone of the Log4Qt repository from https://gitorious.org/log4qt which was itself a clone of the original Log4Qt project on SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/log4qt/ (http://log4qt.sourceforge.net/).

• SimpleTimeLayout (“dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm [Thread] Level Logger Message”)
• ColorConsoleAppender (render colorized message by escape sequence and put it to console)
• SignalAppender (emit signal when log event happens)
• DatabaseAppender (append log event into sql table)
• DatabaseLayout (put log event into sql table columns)
• Telnet appender (append log event to telnet clients)
• LogStream (qDebug()-style log messages appending)
• MainThreadAppender (Proxy appender for sending log messages through event loop)
• XMLLayout to support apache chainsaw
• DailyFileAppender which generates a logfile for each day (add current date formatted to the filename)
• Binary logger
• Windows Debug Console Appender

use qmake to build the project

*NIX
    qmake
    make
    make install

WIN*
    qmake
    mingw32-make
    mingw32-make install

‼️ cmake (CMakeLists.txt) is out of date for Qt5 and not working at the moment. Help to fix cmake for Qt5 build welcome.

*NIX
    STATIC
        cmake -DQT_USE_QTSQL=TRUE -DQT_USE_QTNETWORK=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLOG4QT_BUILD_STATIC=True .
        make
        make install
    SHARED
        cmake -DQT_USE_QTSQL=TRUE -DQT_USE_QTNETWORK=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
        make
        make install

    WIN*
        STATIC
        cmake -DQT_USE_QTSQL=TRUE -DQT_USE_QTNETWORK=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DLOG4QT_BUILD_STATIC=True .
        mingw32-make

        mingw32-make install

If you dont want to use log4qt sql features you must not define QT_USE_QTSQL. If you dont want to use log4qt network features you must not define QT_USE_QTNETWORK.

Using in your projects

If your have cmake-based project for shared linking you must: 1. make log4qt in shared mode; 2. install it; 1. add log4qt package to your CMakeLists.txt; 2. include header directory; 3. link library to target.

For example:
find_package(log4qt REQUIRED HINTS "${QT_MKSPECS_DIR}/cmake/Log4Qt" NO_DEFAULT_PATHS)
include_directories(${LOG4QT_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(main ${QT_LIBRARIES} log4qt)

for static linking: 1. add subdirectory to your project 2. include log4qt/src 3. link library to target

For example:
add_subdirectory(../log4qt ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/log4qt)
include_directories(../log4qt/src)
target_link_libraries(main ${QT_LIBRARIES} log4qt)

Can also be used by adding the log4qt source directly to your Qt project file by adding the following line: include(/src/Log4Qt.pri)
