Cannot compile mongo cxx driver in visual studio

[Ricardo Monicat]

Started by commenting in Stack Overflow. I'll reproduce here my original comment. 

I followed the instructions provided on the site.

Added -DENABLE_EXTRA_ALIGNMENT=OFF" to the CMake parameters to fix a previous bug reported, as recommended by technicians at Mongodb.

On the last run, error 2440 happened in "transaction.hh" lines 64, 77, 90. It cannot convert from 'initializer list' to 'std::optional<mongocxx::v_noabi::read_concern>'{.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Versión 16.4.3.

The used script for cpp driver is:

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="/Zc:__cplusplus" -DBOOST_ROOT=C:\local\boost_1_60_0 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\mongo-c-driver -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\mongo-cxx-driver

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\msbuild.exe" ALL_BUILD.vcxproj

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\msbuild.exe" INSTALL.vcxproj

Hi -

What version of the driver are you building?

Thanks,
Andrew

Sorry, c++ driver version is 3.4.0.  I tried to build it with vs 2019 and 2017, getting the same result.

Hi -

Did you see the reply on your stackoverflow question that pointed you to https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CXX-1688 and https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CXX-1737? The issue was fixed in 3.4.1. Try upgrading to that and see if the issue is resolved?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my delay, this is part of an assessment activity and during last days, it´s priority was surpassed by other urgencies.

Hands back to the matter, I followed your suggestion.

step 1:

Update to commit 913a419 as suggested in https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CXX-1688. 

Outcome: 

  .... \src\mongocxx\test\transactions.cpp(93,5): error C2065: '_That': identificador no declarado [C:\instalamongo\version\cmake-build\src\mongocxx\test\test_driver.vcxproj]

  .... \src\mongocxx\test\transactions.cpp(123,31): error C3536: 'successful_insert_test': no se puede usar antes de inicializarse [C:\instalamongo\version\cmake-build\src\mongocxx\test\test_driver.vcxproj]

  .... \src\mongocxx\test\transactions.cpp(123,9): error C2064: el t‚rmino no se eval£a como una funci¢n con 2 argumentos [C:\instalamongo\version\cmake-build\src\mongocxx\test\test_driver.vcxproj]

  .... \src\mongocxx\test\transactions.cpp(132,9): error C2064: el t‚rmino no se eval£a como una funci¢n con 2 argumentos [C:\instalamongo\version\cmake-build\src\mongocxx\test\test_driver.vcxproj]

  .... \src\mongocxx\test\transactions.cpp(139,9): error C2064: el t‚rmino no se eval£a como una funci¢n con 2 argumentos [C:\instalamongo\version\cmake-build\src\mongocxx\test\test_driver.vcxproj]

Step 2: 

found commit 124f9d0 fixing transactions.cpp.

It can be traced back to commit 913a419 following: 124f9d0 -> 0d3fca4 -> 96dbc39 -> 913a419  

Good!!! It compiled, only warnings.

Step 3: 

Followed ahead the commits chain to 839098a as a more updated version.

Again, it compiled, only warnings.

After these steps, I believe the compiling issue is resolved and I will continue testing the integration of Mongo dB as one of the tools of the project.

Only as a comment to share: Ok with bugs, that's live!!, but I feel a bit uncomfortable not having a release version that just compiles.

Thank you again for your reply.

Br,

Ricardo
