I was a little bored this weekend, so I went and converted the project to CMake: https://github.com/rm5248/logging-log4cxx/tree/cmake-updates2 I have tested this on both Linux and Windows. If people are OK with CMake, I can make a PR from this branch. The only things left to do: * Remove all autotools files * Update documentation on how to build * Fix optionconvertertestcase(this is currently broken on my Jenkins build and on my system, but it did work before) -Robert Middleton
