I'mm trying to build mongocxx driver for vc++ 2017 community edition. I ran below and got errors and retargetted to latest build tools and got successfully compiled.
cd mongo-c-driver-1.8.0\src\libbson
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" \
"-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\mongo-c-driver" \
"-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" # Defaults to debug builds
But on running below errors even after retargetting windows SDK version 10.0.14393.
msbuild.exe /p:Configuration=Release ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
I got below errors
Done Building Project "E:\nosql_db\mongo-c-driver-1.8.0\src\libbson\ALL_BUILD.vcxproj" (default targets) -- FAILED.

To build using the v100 build tools, please install Visual Studio 2010 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". [E:\nosql_db\mongo-c-driver-1.8. 0\src\libbson\ZERO_CHECK.vcxproj]
Please let me know how shall i fix the problem.
