objective c - ObjCMongoDB broken? I can't get it to work -

full disclosure:

i'm not educated programmer, , entirety of programming experience in javascript , objective-c.

so know you're dealing with. tread carefully. no sudden moves.

---

i'm writing ipad app talks mac server. i'd use mongodb backend, , objcmongodb looks perfect fit, can't work using instructions here:

https://github.com/noa--/objcmongodb/wiki/gettingstarted

my repro steps:

1. from main objcmongodb page on github, click "clone in mac" (i'm using github mac handle download)

2. from command line, navigate objcmongodb directory , type:

   git submodule update 

3. then:

   git checkout v0.9.6 

4. copy mongo-c-driver/src folder xcode project folder

5. in xcode, make new group in project called "objcmongodb" , select it

6. add src folder step 4 project, not target.

7. change name of src in project mongo-c-driver

8. add these files in mongo-c-driver target:

   • bson.c
   • encoding.c
   • numbers.c
   • mongo.c
   • md5.c
   • env.c
     
     

9. in xcode, select objcmongodb group again, , add both project , target following folders, checking "create groups added folders":

   • objcmongodb/bson
   • objcmongodb/mongo
   • objcmongodb/ordereddictionary

---

according step-by-step guide, should able build & run project now, there errors.

• first, mongoconnection+diagnostics.h:

  #import <objcmongodb/objcmongodb.h> 

  i don't have framework called objcmongodb @ point, fail.

• even more confusing this nifty error, followed api in question:

  int bson_init_finished_data( bson *b, char *data, bson_bool_t ownsdata ) {     _bson_zero( b );     b->data = data;     b->datasize = bson_finished_data_size( data );     b->ownsdata = ownsdata;     b->finished = 1;     return bson_ok; } 

  certainly seems expect 3 arguments...

so i'm @ loss. appreciated.

i'm author of objcmongodb. interest in library , heads-up question.

to fix first problem, change #import line in mongoconnection+diagnostics.h #import "objcmongodb.h". (that's been fixed in master, subsequent last release.)

the other problem happening because v0.9.6 based on earlier version of mongo c driver files you're using, i'm guessing downloaded or cloned 10gen repository on github.

the c driver set submodule, when clone objcmongodb should see empty mongo-c-driver folder.

from repository root, can run command:

git submodule update --init 

which should load correct version of mongo c driver (my fork of v0.9.6, next release use official version). i'm adding note readme step.

once add versions of .[ch] files project instead, should build correctly.
