Installation error of mongocxx driver (Ubuntu)

[Ped]

Hello all, 

I'm trying to build the cpp mongo db driver on Ubuntu 16.04 but running into some problems while following the installation procedure.

from Step 4: Configure the driver

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..

I received the following errors

-- Auto-configuring bsoncxx to use MNMLSTC for polyfills since C++17 is inactive

CMake Error at src/mongocxx/CMakeLists.txt:37 (find_package):

  By not providing "Findlibmongoc-1.0.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this

  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by

  "libmongoc-1.0", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "libmongoc-1.0"

  (requested version 1.13.0) with any of the following names:

    libmongoc-1.0Config.cmake

    libmongoc-1.0-config.cmake

I assumed that it is not finding libmongoc-1.0 correctly, so I checked my /usr/local/lib, where I couldn't find it.

I installed libmongoc from the package manager http://mongoc.org/libmongoc/current/installing.html

$ apt-get install libmongoc-1.0-0

so I also tried to build with different location of library, but it still fails to find the library correctly.

"cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu .."

I tried to follow the instructions again from the beginning, but I still encountered the same issues for a long time.

Could anyone provide any comments how to address this issue?

Thank you for consideration

Hello all,

I also tried to build the libmongoc from the source

$ wget https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases/download/x.y.z/mongo-c-driver-x.y.z.tar.gz
$ tar xzf mongo-c-driver-x.y.z.tar.gz
$ cd mongo-c-driver-x.y.z
$ mkdir cmake-build
$ cd cmake-build
$ cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF ..

, but somehow the build logs look like it only generate libbson library without libmongoc.

Any suggestions how to build libmongoc? Thank you.

Building from source should build both libmongoc and libbson unless you're configuring with ENABLE_MONGOC=OFF. Can you include the cmake + make command you're using to configure and build?

Thanks for checking my inquiry.

I'm using the commands from the tutorial

cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF ..
