I am trying to build a mongocxx c driver with the latest release. I am doing this with minGW makefiles and am using cmake-gui.

My configuration for cmake is:

Source input:

C:/****/mongo-c-driver-1.17.3/build

Build destination:

C:/mongo-c-driver

The output is the following:

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
  No project() command is present.  The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must
  contain a literal, direct call to the project() command.  Add a line of
  code such as

    project(ProjectName)

  near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().

  CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first
  line.
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

  • Which directory do you use as the source? The `CMakeLists.txt` in the root of the repo does contain the `project` command so I'm a bit confused why CMake complains about this. The macro that's missing seems to be defined in `build/cmake/make_dist/MakeDistFiles.cmake` btw. If you started with the wrong source dir or your toolset was not considered by the authors of the cmake files this may also be the cause for this issue. – fabian Jan 06 '21 at 20:52
  • @Ethan Thank you for your comment , you was right about the directory of the source , i think ,the full documentation of installation is not updated as well , it say the cmake command is inside **build** directory , but when i take a closer look inside , i noticed that was in the **root** of the directory , so i launch again the cmake in the parent , and , it works fine , the same for _mongocxx_ too . – Med Mahdi Maarouf Jan 06 '21 at 23:05
