Build drivers

[Andrew]

Hi. I've used the Mongo drivers so far, with PHP and Java. Now it's
time for C. However, I'm experiencing some difficulties. I am on
Windows and use the make from cygwin. Extracted the folder and
executed the command "make" in the folder. What I got is this:

Any idea? What should I end up with? Thanks

Hi Andrew,

The C driver makefile is using -pedantic, which won't work with the headers on Windows unfortunately.  Your options are to either change the makefile to not use -pedantic, or use SCons to build the C driver.
