This is a very basic MongoDB c driver. This is an alpha release, please email mathias@10gen.com if you run into issues or have API suggestions. The goal is to be super strict for ultimate portability, no dependencies, and very embeddable anywhere. You will need JSON-C (http://oss.metaparadigm.com/json-c/) to compile the unit tests, but it is not required for the main libraries. Building with scons: scons # this will produce libbson.a and libmongoc.a scons --c99 # this will use c99 mode in gcc (recommended) scons test # this will compile and run the unit tests (optional) scons test --test-server=123.4.5.67 # use remote server for tests Building with gcc: gcc --std=c99 -Isrc src/*.c YOUR_APP.c # No -Ddefines are needed in c99 mode on little endien Building with MSVC: TODO #define options (you must use the same flags to compile all apps and libs): MONGO_BIG_ENDIAN This must be defined if on a big endian architecture one of these (defaults to unsigned char if neither is defined) MONGO_HAVE_BOOL Define this if your compiler has a plain 'bool' type MONGO_HAVE_STDBOOL Define this if you must include <stdbool.h> to get 'bool' one of these (required if not using c99): MONGO_HAVE_STDINT Define this if you have <stdint.h> for int64_t MONGO_HAVE_UNISTD Define this if you have <unistd.h> for int64_t MONGO_USE__INT64 Define this if '__int64' is your compiler's 64bit type (MSVC) MONGO_USE_LONG_LONG_INT Define this if 'long long int' is your compiler's 64bit type Error Handling: I'm using an exception system based on cexcept. If you would like to gracefully handle errors, take a look at src/mongo_except.h. It is currently only used for network failures, but more errors will be used in the future.
