Unable to compile client under VS2010

[Skot Taka]

I am unable to compile the Mongo client under vs2010 C++ using "scons
mongoclient.lib. I am attempting to follow the instructions given at
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Building+with+Visual+Studio+2010.
I see very little help in the forums regarding building under vs2010.

Any suggestions as where to start to fix this problem would be
appreciated, as my C++ skills are minimal.

The resulting console output from scons is shown below:

---------------------

The line at util/text.cpp(96) in error is:

throw boost::system::system_error(
::GetLastError(), boost::system::system_category);

The referenced lines in boost/system/system_error.hpp(30, 33, 36 ...)
are:

public:
system_error( error_code ec )
: std::runtime_error(""), m_error_code(ec) {}

system_error( error_code ec, const std::string & what_arg )
: std::runtime_error(what_arg), m_error_code(ec) {}

system_error( error_code ec, const char* what_arg )
: std::runtime_error(what_arg), m_error_code(ec) {}

system_error( int ev, const error_category & ecat )
: std::runtime_error(""), m_error_code(ev,ecat) {}

system_error( int ev, const error_category & ecat,
const std::string & what_arg )

system_error( int ev, const error_category & ecat,

ok, i just tried and it works for me, i'm using boost 1.42

i wonder, if you change

throw boost::system::system_error(
::GetLastError(), boost::system::system_category);

in text.cpp to say,

assert(false);

is it happier? if so lmk and i'll look into that.


std::string toUtf8String(const std::wstring& wide)
{
if (wide.size() > boost::integer_traits<int>::const_max)
throw std::length_error(
"Wide string cannot be more than INT_MAX characters long.");
if (wide.size() == 0)
return "";

// Calculate necessary buffer size
int len = ::WideCharToMultiByte(
CP_UTF8, 0, wide.c_str(), static_cast<int>(wide.size()),
NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);

// Perform actual conversion
if (len > 0)
{
std::vector<char> buffer(len);
len = ::WideCharToMultiByte(
CP_UTF8, 0, wide.c_str(), static_cast<int>(wide.size()),
&buffer[0], static_cast<int>(buffer.size()), NULL, NULL);
if (len > 0)
{
assert(len == static_cast<int>(buffer.size()));
return std::string(&buffer[0], buffer.size());

}
}

throw boost::system::system_error(
::GetLastError(), boost::system::system_category);
}

Yes - much better. I was able to build both with the mongoclient.lib
as a target, and the default complete build. I have not tested the
build yet.

I did get a warning message at the end that said:

...
pch.obj : warning LNK4221: This object file does not define any
previously undefined public symbols, so it will not be used by any
link operation that consumes this library
scons: done building targets

Thanks!
