Building Apache log4cxx with CMake

* Quick start:

  Building and testing log4cxx on a Unix platform with packaged APR and APR-Util.

  Make sure cmake 3.13+, g++ and make are available, install or
  build apr 1.x, apr-util 1.x, gzip and zip.

+------------+
$ apt-get install build-essential libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev gzip zip
$ cd apache-log4cxx-x.x.x
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ccmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
+------------+

* ccmake options

*------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| -DLOG4CXX_WCHAR_T=no   | Enable wchar_t API methods, choice of yes (default), no.                                    |
*------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| -DLOG4CXX_UNICHAR=yes  | Enable UniChar API methods, choice of yes, no (default).                                    |
*------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| -DLOG4CXX_CFSTRING=yes | Enable CFString API methods, requires Mac OS/X CoreFoundation, choice of yes, no (default). |
*------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| -DBUILD_TESTING=off    | Disable tests.  Tests are enabled by default                                                |
*------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   Building and testing log4cxx on a Microsoft Windows with APR, Expat and APR-Util built from source
   extracted into apr-1.7.0, libexpat(from github) and apr-util-1.6.1 in %HOMEPATH%\Libraries.

+------------+
$ cd %HOMEPATH%\Libraries
$ cmake -S libexpat\expat -B buildtrees\expat -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
$ cmake --build buildtrees\expat --target install --config Release
$ cmake -S apr-1.7.0 -B buildtrees\apr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
$ cmake --build buildtrees\apr --target install --config Release
$ set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
$ cmake -S apr-util-1.6.1 -B buildtrees\apr-util -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
$ cmake --build buildtrees\apr-util --target install --config Release
$ cmake -S apache-log4cxx-x.x.x -B buildtrees\log4cxx -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%HOMEPATH%\Libraries\installed
$ cmake --build buildtrees\log4cxx --target install --config Release
+------------+

* Platform specific notes:

** Mac OS/X:

  APR and APR-Util are provided by the platform in Mac OS/X 10.5 and iODBC in 10.4.

  cmake can be installed by typing "brew install cmake"

** Debian:

  APR, APR-Util, openssl, gzip and zip may be installed by:

+----+
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev gzip zip
+----+

  CMake can be built from source by typing:

+----+
$ wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.16.4/cmake-3.16.4.tar.gz
$ tar xf cmake-3.16.4.tar.gz
$ cd cmake-3.16.4
$ ./bootstrap
$ make
$ sudo make install
+----+

** FreeBSD:

  APR, APR-Util, gzip and zip may be installed from the ports collection by:

+----+
$ cd /usr/ports/archivers/zip
$ make
$ make install
$ cd /usr/ports/archivers/gzip
$ make
$ make install
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/apr
$ make
$ make install
+----+

* Using log4cxx in a CMake build

   A log4cxxConfig.cmake and log4cxxConfigVersion.cmake is installed to allow use of find_package() in your CMakeLists.txt.
   
   Below are example cmake commands that compile and link 'myApplication" with log4cxx.

+----+
find_package(log4cxx 0.11)
add_executable(myApplication myMain.cpp)
target_include_directories(myApplication PRIVATE $<TARGET_PROPERTY:log4cxx,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
target_link_libraries( myApplication PRIVATE log4cxx)
