mongoclient-gd.dll is missing from your computer

[sandr...@gmail.com]

I am trying to get the mongodb c++ legacy driver running. 

Here are some facts:

1. I am working with Visual Studio 2013. 

2. I have installed a pre built boost Windows binary (boost_1_55_0-msvc-12.0-32.exe). The boost library is working and the folder path is specified in visual studio. 

3. I have installed mongodb (version 3.2) and it is working fine. I can access my mongo database from the shell. 

4. I have installed the mongoDB driver using the following commands: 

scons $ARGS install

scons $ARGS install --dbg=on

scons $ARGS install --dynamic-windows --sharedclient

scons $ARGS install --dynamic-windows --sharedclient --dbg=on

All the library files are in the appropriate folders and the libraries paths are specified in visual studio. 

5. I can load the mongo db header

#include "mongo/client/dbclient.h"

without an error. 

6. If I try 

mongo::client::initialize();

I get the following error message: 

'The program can't start because mongocllient-gd.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.'

Does anybody know what is going on here? Why can I load the dbclient but not initialize the client? 

Thanks for your help in advance!

I get the following error message: 
'The program can't start because mongocllient-gd.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.'

If that is the actual message, then it looks like you have a typo - there is an extra 'l' in the library name.

If that is just a typo, then my next questions would be:

- Does the install directory for the C++ driver actually contain mongoclient-gd.dll?

- Is the install directory for the C++ driver in the PATH when your executable is run? The header include can work fine at build time with a properly configured include path, but at runtime the DLL must be able to be found by your application according to the DLL search rules:

Thanks,

Thanks Andrew! Indeed, Visual Studio was unaware of the DDL files at runtime. I have copied them into the .exe directory and it works fine now.
