How to set up project with mongodb-cxx-driver in Visual Studio

Question

I have successfully built the new libmongo-cxx-driver on Windows with Visual Studio, but I fail understanding how I can set up a project in VS 2015 to link to it. I would appreciate some help on that.

Answer 1

Vcpkg helps you get C and C++ libraries on Windows. if someone still finding a solution by 2017. here is the new way of compiling libraries

Download vcpkg follow the instructions as mentioned on git. https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

Step 1 C:\vcpkg>.\vcpkg search mongodb

you will see something like this

mongo-c-driver 1.6.2-1 Client library written in C for MongoDB.

mongo-cxx-driver 3.1.1-1 MongoDB C++ Driver.

Step 2 C:.\vcpkg install mongo-cxx-driver

then grab a cup of coffee ...

Step 3

C:\vcpkg>.\vcpkg integrate install

Done..

Note Prerequisites:

Windows 10, 8.1, or 7

Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
