The C++ driver is included in the MongoDB server source repository, and can also be downloaded as a separate, "standalone" tarball (see C++ Driver Download). To compile the "standalone" C++ driver, run the scons command in the top-level directory of the driver sources, e.g.:
cd mongo-cxx-driver-nightly/ scons
You may wish to compile and link client/simple_client_demo.cpp to verify that everything compiles and links fine.
Linux
Using the prebuilt library
$ cd mongo/client $ g++ simple_client_demo.cpp -lmongoclient -lboost_thread-mt -lboost_filesystem -lboost_program_options
Using mongo_client_lib.cpp instead of a library
If you have a compatibility problem with the library, include mongo_client_lib.cpp in your project instead. For example:
g++ -I .. simple_client_demo.cpp mongo_client_lib.cpp -lboost_thread-mt -lboost_filesystem
Windows
Note: we tend to test MongoDB with Windows using Visual Studio 2010. 2008 works, although you may have to tweak settings in some cases.
Include mongoclient.lib in your application.
To build mongoclient.lib:
scons mongoclient
Alternatively, include client/mongo_client_lib.cpp in your project.
For Windows, see also:
- bson/bsondemo/bsondemo.vcxproj
- client/examples/simple_client_demo.vcxproj
- Prebuilt Boost Libraries
- Prebuild Boost Libraries only necessary for versions < 2.1.1
- Boost 1.49 source is now included directly in version 2.1.1+
- Building with Visual Studio 2010
Other notes for Windows:
- Compile with /MT
- You may wish to define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to avoid warnings on use of strncpy and such by the MongoDB client code.
- Include the WinSock library in your application : Linker.Input.Additional Dependencies - add ws2_32.lib.
Windows Troubleshooting
- error LNK2005: ___ already defined in msvcprt.lib(MSVCP100.dll) libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_42.lib(thread.obj)
- The boost library being linked against is expecting a /MT build. If this is a release build, try using /MT instead of /MD for compilation (under Properties.C++.Code Generation).
