Miscelaneous things

Template parameters - Using defaults

This parameter is optional. This means you don't need to set it, unless you want to. Just leave it as default_, and move on to the paramers you're interested in.

Example:

typedef logger_format_write< default_, default_, writer::threading::on_dedicated_thread > logger_type;

Internationalization - Using Unicode charaters

In case you want to log unicode characters, it's very easy:

just #define BOOST_LOG_USE_WCHAR_T before including any Boost.Logging files
For Windows, in case the UNICODE or _UNICODE is defined, the BOOST_LOG_USE_WCHAR_T is defined automatically for you
- If you don't wish that, please define BOOST_LOG_DONOT_USE_WCHAR_T globally, before including any Boost Logging Lib files.

Compilers it's been tested on

The Boost Logging Lib has been tested with the following compilers:

VC 2005
VC 2003
gcc 3.4.2
gcc 4.1

I've tested it under Windows, and ran the tests successfully on Fedora 8.

Compiling with bjam

You can compile the scenarios and/or tests with bjam. The easy way:

On Windows:
- go the the scenarios or tests directory
- run run_win.bat path_to_boost toolset
- example: run_win d:/boosts/boost_1_34_1/ msvc
On Linux
- go the the scenarios or tests directory
- run bash run_linux.sh path_to_boost toolset
- example: sh run_linux.sh /home/jtorjo/Desktop/boost_1_34_1/ gcc
