Hello, I’m new to MongoDB, and I’m trying to build the mongo-c-driver, the version is 1.25.0. However, some errors are appears in the build process. The CMake output and the Visual Studio 2019 error output are shown below.

Can anyone help me fix it ? Thanks.

What cmake commands are run? I was unable to reproduce. The following Powershell commands worked for me:

# Define path to CMake:
$cmake='C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe'
# Get C driver 1.25.0:
git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver --branch 1.25.0
cd mongo-c-driver
# Configure:
& "$cmake" -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 `
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\mongo-c-driver-1.25.0" `
    -S. -Bcmake-build
# Build and install:
& "$cmake" --build cmake-build --target INSTALL

The cmake commands used are same. I rerun the commands again, Cmake configuration completed, but when run build, error still remains. The errors appears in source file “mongoc-util.c”. Is there some dependencies missed install in my environment?

Idea: I expect something is defining bool or _Bool as a macro evaluating to int. This issue has been reported in CDRIVER-5629. I can reproduce the error if I manually add a #define bool int around the code causing the error.

The contents of stdbool.h in my install defines bool as _Bool (in path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.26.28801\include\stdbool.h):

#define bool _Bool

Does stdbool.h on your machine differ? Or is something else possibly defining bool or _Bool as an int?
