Did anybody have any luck using the official MongoDB C++ driver on Mac OS X? I'm using an Apple Silicon Mac and I've tried including both the library installed via brew install mongo-cxx-driver
and one built from the release tarball, but both versions give me the same issue when running cmake --build build
on my project:
[ 50%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/server.dir/main.cpp.o

I assume it wants to use boost/optional.hpp
, but it's trying core/optional.hpp
instead; I don't know. I'm including my CMakeLists.txt here:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.27)
project(server)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)
file(GLOB sources "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.cpp")
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${sources})
target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME}
PUBLIC "/opt/homebrew/include"
PUBLIC "/opt/homebrew/include/mongocxx/v_noabi/"
PUBLIC "/opt/homebrew/include/bsoncxx/v_noabi/"
PUBLIC "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/Crow/include/"
)
Any help is appreciated.
So as it turns out, it wasn't referencing boost; it was referencing a package mnmlstc/core
I cloned the repository for that library, placed it into my dependencies folder, and added it to target_include_directories
in the CMakeLists.txt, and it seemed to do the trick. I also had to reference the libraries for the linker.
On the off-chance this may help somebody, I'll paste the CMakeLists.txt file here:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.27)
project(server)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)
file(GLOB SOURCES "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.cpp")
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SOURCES})
find_package(Boost REQUIRED)
target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME}
PUBLIC ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR}
PUBLIC "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/mongo-cxx/include/mongocxx/v_noabi"
PUBLIC "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/mongo-cxx/include/bsoncxx/v_noabi"
PUBLIC "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/core/include"
PUBLIC "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/Crow/include"
)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
PRIVATE "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/mongo-cxx/lib/libmongocxx.dylib"
PRIVATE "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/dependencies/mongo-cxx/lib/libbsoncxx.dylib"
)
Ideally I would use find_package, but I figure this is not meant to be released.
