Redirect Google log (glog) to file

Question

I have a small console application which uses a library (statically linked) that uses glog to cout or cerr for printing the log messages. I want to redirect these messages to file, but using the method specified here doesn't work (Tried it for both cout and cerr).

This is a 3rd party library and I don't have their code, but know for sure that this library uses glog for logging.

How can I still redirect it to a file?

Much thanks!

Try to set environment variables GLOG_logtostderr=0 and GLOG_log_dir="path where to write log files" and run your app. — Sergei Nikulov, Jan 13 '15 at 10:49

Well, after adding the log initiating line:

::google::InitGoogleLogging(argv[0]);

and then redirect the streams like suggested here, this worked.
