getting started with log4cpp in windows

I need to do logging in a C++ application. After googling for a while, I decided to use log4cpp.

1. is that a safe option to go with, or is there something better out there?
2. How do I get started with installation and importing it to my application using Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005?

TIA

I've used Log4cpp in the past and it does the job, though bear in mind the project has been inactive since 2007. There are also the following alternatives:

• Apache's log4cxx which is still active.
• Matthew Wilson's Pantheios library.
• Log4cplus.

As for getting started, does the documentation not cover this?
