CMake linking problem with mongocxx on Ubuntu

Working with Data Drivers
1

I am on Ubuntu 18.04, have installed the MongoCXX driver to location: /usr/local/

I have tried the following test script using the command line argument given in the tutorial, and it works fine

c++ --std=c++11 test.cpp -o test $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongocxx)

However i cannot seem to get it to work with CMAKE. I am fairly new to CMAKE, and must be doing something stupid, but cant figure out what.

Below is my CMAKE file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(testThread)

set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -pthread -Wall -Werror -std=c++14")

set(source_dir "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/")

file(GLOB source_files "${source_dir}/*.cpp")

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "/usr/local")
find_package(mongocxx CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable (testThread ${source_files})

The CMAKE file builds successfully, which indicates that CMAKE has found the package, but it when i compile my program, it fails with the following error:

“fatal errror: bsoncxx/builder/stream/document.hpp: No such file or directory”

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or what i can do to debug this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

@arif_saeed The CMake package configuration files changed in the most recent release. What C++ driver release are you using and what was the output of the CMake command for your own project? In particular I’d like to see what it reported when it found the C++ driver.
