Key: LOGCXX-519

Project: Log4cxx
Issue Type: Bug

Affects Versions: 0.11.0
Environment: IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 Version
16.8.4

Hello!
*Introduktion:*
After downloading the
[apache-log4cxx-0.11.0.zip|https://downloads.apache.org/logging/log4cxx/0.11.0/apache-log4cxx-0.11.0.zip]
I realized that the files "INSTALL.txt" and "vsstudio.apt" do not guide users
to build the "log4cxx.dll" using Visual Studio.
*Tooling:*
IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 Version 16.8.4
C++ Language Standard: Default (ISO C++14 Standard)
*Explaining the Issue:*
The "INSTALL.txt" which is located in the root directory redirects me to the
file "src/site/apt/building/vstudio.apt".
*1.)* In the chapter +"*Preparation"+ the components "apr-1.2.11-win32-src.zip"
and "apr-util-1.2.10-win32-src.zip" are mentioned. There are already newer
versions available. What are the newer versions used for or is the
"vstudio.apt" just outdated?
*2.)* We should execute the "configure-aprutil.bat" after the "configure.bat"
but there is no "configure-aprutil.bat" in the folder.
*3.)* In the chapter "*Building log4cxx.dll" we should open
"projects/log4cxx.dsw" with Visual Studio. The issue is, that there is not
"projects" folder in this
[apache-log4cxx-0.11.0.zip|https://downloads.apache.org/logging/log4cxx/0.11.0/apache-log4cxx-0.11.0.zip]
.
*4.)* However, I picked the "projects" folder from Version 10 and tried to open
the "projects/log4cxx.dsw" but as a result the "xml" project can not be loaded.

Creating a dll of this library should be more user friendly and straight
forward.
I hope my feedback helps to improve the library, its usability and
documentation.
Sincerely
Brayan
