How to build MongoDB C driver
Overview
How to build MongoDB C driver. There was not much information in Japanese, so I will summarize it.
Prerequisites
- Environment where Visual Studio 2010 or later is installed (or Visual Studio 2015 Express)
How to build
The MongoDB C driver is not distributed as a binary, so you need to build it from source.
1. Install CMake
Go to CMake and download ** Windows win64-x64 Installer ** from the download page. After downloading, run the msi package to install.
2. Download mongo-c-driver
Go to mongo-c-driver and download the source.
3. Build with CMake
After starting the command prompt, move to the root directory of the source and execute the following command.
set PATH="C:\Program Files\CMake\bin";%PATH%
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\mongo-c-driver" "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\mongo-c-driver" ..
4. Build with MSBuild
Continue to execute the following command.
set PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin";%PATH%
msbuild.exe /p:Configuration=Release ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
msbuild.exe /p:Configuration=Release INSTALL.vcxproj
A lot of warnings are displayed, but if the build is successful, the following binaries will be generated in ** C: \ mongo-c-driver **.
- DLL file
- Include header file
- Library file
About build configuration
In the above procedure, the build is done with the release configuration, but it is also possible to build with a different build configuration by changing the value specified by ** / p: Configuration = ** to the following value.
| value | Description |
|---|---|
| Debug | Build with debug configuration |
| Release | Build with release configuration |
| MinSizeRel | Build with minimum size configuration |
| RelWithDebInfo | Build with release configuration with debug information |
- If you build without specifying ** / p: Configuration = **, it will be built as a debug configuration. Note that if ** ucrtbased.dll ** [^ 1] does not exist in the execution environment, the following error will be displayed when the linked program is executed.
[^ 1]: This is a debug version of C Runtime Library. It is not installed with the Visual Studio redistributable package.
