[package] mongo-cxx-driver/3.7.0: Ubuntu 22.04.1LTS undefined reference errors

[kmwagnera]

Description

If I use this package on Ubuntu+Cmake I have some undefined reference errors if I compile my c++ project. Conan detects prebuild binarys and download and use these if I call conan install --build missing... but it seems that there are some problems with the prebuild binarys, because if I manipulate my conan-profile/settings.yml so that conan not use the prebuild binarys but compile the package from source I do not have any problems and I can compile the c++ project.

I have the exact same issue. Is there a solution for this?

[ProNeverFake]

I got the same issue. It seems that the symbols in libresolv is not exposed to the mongo-c-driver according to the troubleshooting discussion on the Internet but I'm not sure if it is possible to change that for a conan package.

Got the same issue on 3.8.1. Solved by building the package from source: conan install --build=mongo-*

Nice! I finally downgraded my ubuntu to 20.04 for other projects' requirements and this issue was not there anymore. But thanks!

Hi there! Is the problem solved?
