common.h.msvc80 seems to be missing

[Sean]

I'm guessing this is a pre-configured common.h for use with visual
studio. It doesn't seem to be in the release tarball or in the svn
repo.

I was able to hack around it by configuring on linux and then
modifying the RLOG_DECL definition:

#ifdef _WIN32
#ifdef RLOG_EXPORT
#define RLOG_DECL __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define RLOG_DECL __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#else
#define RLOG_DECL
#endif

Adding the RLOG_EXPORT define to the preprocessor settings when
compiling the dll.

I was also wondering if it's possible to obtain RLog under a different
license that would allow static linking. Perhaps a CMake-based build
system would be a reasonable trade for this?

Which license did you have in mind? I'm not opposed to static
linking. What I'd like to retain is a requirement to share any
changes to rlog with anyone that gets a modified version - regardless
of how it's linked into the program.

Something like the Apple Public license would work well: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/apsl-2.0.php
It seems to allow you to link and distribute applications however you want, but requires source code be provided
for any modifications you make to the library.  Gets rid of the re-linking requirement of the LGPL.

The Sun Public license also seems appropriate: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/sunpublic.php

Do you have any hints on getting the dll build working on windows, I'm running up against a wall getting it to recognize the _RLDebugChannel symbol.  I modified RlogChannels.cpp to have the right export statements:

    RLOG_DECL RLogChannel *_RLDebugChannel   = GetGlobalChannel( "debug",   Log_Debug );

    RLOG_DECL RLogChannel *_RLInfoChannel    = GetGlobalChannel( "info",    Log_Info );

    RLOG_DECL RLogChannel *_RLWarningChannel = GetGlobalChannel( "warning", Log_Warning );

    RLOG_DECL RLogChannel *_RLErrorChannel   = GetGlobalChannel( "error",   Log_Error );

And I can see the symbols are exported in the dll using pe explorer, but my code can't seem to find them.  Maybe I just don't know how to export variables in a namespace properly...  (static linkage sure would be easier ;) )
