Hi, I am having some problems when trying to build mongo-cxx-driver-r4.0.0 from source on linux mint.

After executing “cmake … -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17”, it outputs some text about the dependency, modules and stuff.
And then it prints “CMake Error at build/_deps/mongo-c-driver-src/src/libmongoc/CMakeLists.txt:866 (message):
MONGODB-AWS requires a crypto library”

I searched about it on google but didn’t find anything related, later I even asked it to chatgpt, and it said to install libmongocrypt. I insatlled libmongocrypt but it didn’t solve the issue.

I am probably missing something or doing it the wrong way, but I really don’t know what because I am still a beginner. Please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for replying!

Installing libcrypto++8 did work, but now it says “CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:220 (message):
BUILD_VERSION not specified and could not be calculated (script invocation
failed); specify in CMake command, -DBUILD_VERSION=”

I don’t know what build version I need to specify here

Hey, using the release tarball worked and now I have mongocxx installed on my system.
Thanks for your help!
