Using the mongodb cxx driver in a cmake c++ project

I had done it linking all what is linked on mongocxx driver docs and using CMake 'find_package':

find_package(libmongocxx REQUIRED)find_package(libbsoncxx REQUIRED)include_directories(${LIBMONGOCXX_INCLUDE_DIR})include_directories(${LIBBSONCXX_INCLUDE_DIR})include_directories("/usr/local/include/mongocxx/v_noabi")include_directories("/usr/local/include/bsoncxx/v_noabi")include_directories("/usr/local/include/libmongoc-1.0")include_directories("/usr/local/include/libbson-1.0")include_directories("/usr/local/lib")add_executable(YOUR_PROJECT ${SOURCE_FILES})target_link_libraries(YOUR_PROJECT ${LIBMONGOCXX_LIBRARIES})target_link_libraries(YOUR_PROJECT ${LIBBSONCXX_LIBRARIES})

You shouldn't need to do it that way. You can and should find the C++11 driver via either CMake's find_package or via pkg_check_modules subsystems. The C++11 driver supports both.

This work for me:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)project(cmongodb)set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)find_package(libbsoncxx-static REQUIRED)find_package(libmongocxx-static REQUIRED)include_directories(${LIBMONGOCXX_STATIC_LIBRARIES})include_directories(${LIBBSONCXX_STATIC_LIBRARIES})include_directories(${LIBMONGOCXX_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS})include_directories(${LIBBSONCXX_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS})message(STATUS "${LIBMONGOCXX_STATIC_LIBRARIES}")message(STATUS "${LIBMONGOCXX_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS}")message(STATUS "${LIBBSONCXX_STATIC_LIBRARIES}")message(STATUS "${LIBBSONCXX_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS}")add_executable(cmongodb main.cpp mymongo.cpp mymongo.h)target_link_libraries(cmongodb ${LIBMONGOCXX_STATIC_LIBRARIES} ${LIBBSONCXX_STATIC_LIBRARIES})

Here I install mongo db in prefix static. Commonly, you will romve all

static and _STATIC
