 Description   

Improvements should be made to the legacy build documentation to address common user build issues. A couple that have come up recently:

  • Users are failing to build due to using a version of a compiler that is too new (the source hasn't been updated to resolve the new build warnings/errors).
  • Users are building the driver against a different version of the standard library than the version of the standard library they are building boost against. We should suggest to OS X users to install boost with homebrew instead of building it themselves.
  • Users want to add multiple directories to their include path or library path. We should document the syntax for this.

We haven't had recent complaints – it seems most new questions are about mongocxx 3.1. As we have limited resources for legacy work, I'm closing this Won't Fix.
