Building with Visual 2005 fails

[resul sahin]

Hello,

When I build the log4cxx on Visual 2005 according to instructionshttp://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/building/vstudio.html, I am getting error below;

 1>------ Build started: Project: apr, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

1>Compiling...
1>userinfo.c
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\rpcndr.h(145) :   error C2059: syntax error : ':'
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\rpcndr.h(898) : error C2059: syntax error : ','
.
.
.
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\platformsdk\include\rpcndr.h(3119) : fatal error C1003: error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation

 When clicking the first error moves to code below

 /****************************************************************************

 *  Other MIDL base types / predefined types:

 ****************************************************************************/


typedef unsigned char byte;
typedef ::byte cs_byte;   // error indicates here

 Is there any comments?

 Thanks In Advance

Don't see how log4cxx is involved here.

I'm thinking that the compiler is doing strict C compiling for that  
file with the ".c" extension and the header file includes a C++  
construct (the leading :: to ensure that the global definition of byte  
is being used).  You can likely change a compiler setting to do C++  
compilation for all source files.
