Hello, I’m new to MongoDB, and I’m trying to install the C++ drivers to use for educational purposes. I’m trying to build the C drivers from mongo-c-driver.1.23.5, so that I can then build the C++ drivers on top I’m having issues doing both. I’m on Windows 10, 64-bit AMD with GNU 13.1.0, which I installed using MSYS2. By default, running cmake builds files for Ninja. Here is what I’ve tried so far.
-
Generating the build files. I’ve followed the instructions on the website, basically just running the commands as they are presented. I downloaded the necessary files, which reside in the MSYS2 directory (relative path
~/mongo-c-driver-1.23.5/cmake-build; absolute pathC:\msys64\home\Mingtendo\mongo-c-driver-1.23.5). If it matters, the terminal I’m using isC:\msys64\usr\bin\bash.exe. I extract the files from the tar into the directory on the website and prepare the build withcmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFFThe output is below:

The last line looks like what I’m supposed to get, so despite some of the include files not being found I just push on. (Side note: I do have Visual Studio 17 2022 installed, and its generators for cmake via MSYS2, but attempting to build and install both C and C++ drivers didn’t seem to work either).
-
Building the C drivers and installation. To do the build, I run
sudo cmake --build . --target install. Before when I tried to do so, I would get an error that said I had insufficient privileges or something, so I installed win-sudo to get elevate the command.
$ sudo cmake --build . --target install

I wind up with this. I’m not sure what this means, but it doesn’t sound good. Nevertheless, when I check that directory, it does seem like all the files are there, in my C: drive. So to me it seems to have worked. I’m not sure if this is where things went wrong, but it could be. The guide doesn’t tell me what sort of output to expect for a successful build.

Configuring the C++ drivers. At this point, I go back to mongocxx.org’s website, to build the C++ drivers. I install Boost from their website, and then I download the latest version of the mongocxx driver following the instructions on the page. I download them to
C:\msys64\home\Mingtendo, just like the mongo-c drivers. I extract them to the same subdirectory as noted in the guide. But the guide only shows you how to build with Visual Studio, so I just try to adapt the examples to my situation. Here’s what happened:
$ cmake -DBOOST_ROOT='C:\boost_1_82_0' -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH='C:/Program Files (x86)/mongo-c-driver/' -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='C:\Program Files\mongo-cxx-driver' ..

Installing the C++ driver. This is where things go haywire for me. I follow Step 5 on the page and run
cmake --build . --target installto build and install the C++ driver:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
So I run the command again, this time using sudo (reminder, I’m on Windows 10, I have win-sudo installed):
$ sudo cmake --build . --target install

It says the batch processing is aborted, but when I check the destination folder, C:\Program Files\mongo-cxx-driver, it seems to be filled with the necessary .h/.hpp/.cpp files. So I run it again, maybe that will help?

At this point I’m not sure what to do. Is my driver installed or not? Is it safe to use? I have no idea, because the guide doesn’t tell me what I should expect as an output for a successful operation. Any help would be much appreciated, and I apologize if this post was too long, since I’m not sure where things went wrong.
