Compiling on Linux problem

[EiTkoCaT]

Hey,

OK I have a problem. I've downloaded the c++ driver from
http://dl.mongodb.org/dl/cxx-driver. I'm following the
http://www.mongodb.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=21266598 but when
I type "scons" it gives me:
/mongo-cxx-driver-v1.8# scons
-bash: scons: command not found

What to do?


Thanks.

You need to install scons.
If this is linux, would be either:
apt-get install scons
or
yum install scons

You should follow the instructions here for setting up your environment:
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Building+for+Linux

[EiTkoCaT]

OK I followed and installed all OK but when I try to compile it gives
me:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmongoclient
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[EiTkoCaT]

Also if I'm doing
g++ -I .. simple_client_demo.cpp mongo_client_lib.cpp -lboost_thread-
mt -lboost_filesystem

it gives me some lot of undefined reference to `mongo::OID::init()'
and other functions...

WTF? Thanks.

[Eliot Horowitz]

You need -lmongoclient

[EiTkoCaT]

Gives me:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmongoclient
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Well how can I solve that? It drives me crazy!

[Nat]

After you build mongoclient, make sure you get it placed in lib location such as /usr/lib, /usr/lib64

[EiTkoCaT]

How to build mongoclient? That's exactly my problem!!!

Thanks!

[Nat]

If you build it from mongodb source, you can try "scons --full install"

Otherwise, if building from cxx-driver tarball, you can just run "scons" from the extracted directory.

[EiTkoCaT]

I already did just "scons". I'm using the cxx-driver.

[Nat]

Did you make sure mongoclient.a get copied to /usr/lib or /usr/lib64? 

[EiTkoCaT]

OK I've formatted everything, re-installed and works great.

Thanks!
