Help install c++ driver on Windows

[prosper...@gmail.com]

Windows 10
MS VS 2013
mongodb R3.3.5

It has been several years since I worked on mongoDB (Windows 7 64 bit SP1 & mongoDB 2.2.0) and was able to install the c++ driver as part of building mongodb from source. Apparently that has changed.

I have built R3.3.5 from source. Apparently I need to first build the C driver and then the C++ driver (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver/wiki/Quickstart-Guide-%28New-Driver%29).

Following this documentation to install on Windows:

https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/blob/master/README.rst

Downloaded zip and stored it in C:\mongo-c-driver-1.3.5

Per the README:

 

cd mongo-c-driver-$ver
cd src\libbson
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\usr -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" .

With this error:

CMake Error: The source directory "C:/mongo-c-driver-1.3.5/src/libbson" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

src/libson is empty. CMakeLists.txt is in C:/mongo-c-driver-1.3.5

So I try running cmake in the mongo-c-driver-1.3.5 directory:

C:\mongo-c-driver-1.3.5>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\usr -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" .

Current version (from VERSION_CURRENT file): 1.3.5
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
BSON (ADVANCED)
    linked by target "mongoc_shared" in directory C:/mongo-c-driver-1.3.5
    linked by target "mongoc_static" in directory C:/mongo-c-driver-1.3.5

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "C:/mongo-c-driver-1.3.5/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

So any clues on how to install the C driver so I can get on to installing the C++ driver

Thanks!
