MongoDB and visual C++ 2008 linker errors

Question

i'm trying to get the c++ client for mongodb working in visual studio 2008. i can reference the includes, but whenever i tell the linker about the mongodb .lib file i get the following error: "fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed". if visual studio can't find the .lib, then i get a bunch of unresolved externals errors. i'm really pretty lost at this point.

Answer 1

Have you tried the latest from GitHub ?

Have you installed vs 2008 SP1?
