To avoid installation, I'd try to statically link against log4c - this would save you all that hassle. You should be able to specify that either when running './configure' or edit the resulting Makefile to create a static library instead of a dynamic one.

thanks. &nbsp;So, I would just grab the liblog4c.a file and statically link. &nbsp;How about the header files?

Hi Experts,<br />
I am trying to use log4c in a C project. &nbsp;The C app would be running in Linux(embedded). &nbsp;I was thinking I can use log4c by simply copying the .so file and the header files into my project. &nbsp;But, the documentation available everywhere points to installing it( apt-get install liblog4c-dev etc)<br />
<br />
What are the steps required to use this? &nbsp;I believe this is pretty much same for any other libs( like openssl)... &nbsp;thank you.

Using log4c logging tool in a C project

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
