libmongoc

[Chris]

Hi,

i'm trying to install libmongoc local but haven't success.

I could build libbson, but don't now how to link exactly to avoid the error fro libmongoc.

Thanks in advance

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BSON_CFLAGS
and BSON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Hi Chris,

There should be no need to specify BSON_LIBS or BSON_CFLAGS if you have pkg-config installed and have successfully installed libbson. Did you `make install` libbson?

Can you verify that pkg-config can find the file?

pkg-config --modversion libbson-1.0

If not, check to see where the .pc file was installed. Maybe something like ~/.local/lib/pkgconfig/. If your pkg-config binary does not check there, you might need to specify PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
