Hi Luis,

I've added a simple 'example': tests/testFilter.cpp (see http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/log4cpp/log4cpp/tests/testFilter.cpp?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup\)
This example only checks whether the chaining of filters works, to use a Filter you need to call Appender::setFilter() too.

I also caught a bug in log4cpp/include/Filter.hh: it incorrectly declares  decide(..) abstract even though it is not. Remove the '= 0' after decide() to fix this. Maybe this is the source of your trouble.

Good luck,

Bastiaan
