Log4net provides support for a wide array of targets, including
- older .net 2 and 3.5 (including client profiles)
- more modern net40/net45
- netstandard1.3/2.0
As such, it does require a relatively full .net environment on Windows to build.
Options:
- build locally. Suggested environment:
- Pre-requisites:
- Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools
- include desktop targets at least
- include dotnet core targets or download and install the latest dotnet sdk (you will need at least v2.1)
- Ensure you have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed
- on Win10+, this can only be installed via Add/Remove Windows Components
- on other platforms, see https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net35-sp1
- Building against .net 2/3.5, especially Client Profile, is not supported on Mono
- Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools
- Binaries can be built with a Visual Studio or Rider installation
- Binaries, packages and a release zip can be built via commandline
- Ensure that you have a reasonably modern NodeJS installed (at least version 8+)
npm ci
npm run build
- optionally
npm test
to run all tests - optionally
npm run release
to generate release artifacts
- Ensure that you have a reasonably modern NodeJS installed (at least version 8+)
- Pre-requisites:
- build via the vs2019 Windows AppVeyer image. There is an appveyer.yml file included which (should) build if you set up AppVeyer to track your fork. AppVeyer is free for open-source projects. (TODO: should have a link to the official AppVeyer build)
Log4Net uses Maven to build the site. Source artifacts can be found under src/site
.
Building the site can be accomplished with npm run build-site
. You should have maven
installed:
- Windows: get it from Scoop
- OSX: get it from Homebrew
- Linux: use your package manager
The site will be generated in target/site
, and can be viewed locally. Updates should
be pushed to the asf-staging
branch of https://github.com/apache/logging-log4net-site
Once the site has been pushed to the asf-staging
branch, it can be viewed at
http://logging.staged.apache.org/log4net
