I'm having trouble building the ACE framework. I just bought the programers handbook for it and I am really very interested in using it.
It's got this logging framework that seems to be just what I want, which is a rare thing indeed. The logging framework looks to be as good as Log4cpp but with the added benefit of being able to do arbitrary logging over network connections and groovy stuff like that.
ACE also has a lot of cross platform stuff and is supposed to make network programming simple. So until there is a Boost::socketstream or something else like that I've been looking at ACE.
But the build process is SCREWY. Maybe I just can't appreciate it's beauty, and it does compile for a truely freakish number of systems (from VxWorks to MVS for god's sake).
It's building now, and I may have gotten it licked, but geesh.
