Build Mongo Cpp driver with SSL and prebuild Boost on Windows

I'm having trouble building the Mongo legacy Cpp driver with the --SSL option on Windows.

The problem is that I'm using the prebuild versions of the Boost libraries thus as is detailed on the mongo driver build documentation page I must use the --libpath and --cpppath option to point to the boost libs and headers instead of the --extrapath option.

Due to the layout of the boost installation in the pre-built binaries, you cannot use the --extrapath SCons flag to inform the build of the installation path for the boost binaries. Instead, you should use the --cpppath flag to point to the root of the chosen boost installation path, and --libpath to point into the appropriately named library subdirectory of the boost installation.

But I also need the --libpath and --cpppath to point to the OpenSSL library. I've tried:

None seem to work, depending on what comes first I get a build warning about not finding Boost or not finding SSL.

How can I specify both?

The legacy driver build system honors several forms of setting the library and include search path. The one that you want to use here is the LIBPATH and CPPPATH Scons Variables, which are set after invoking SCons. Multiple arguments are separated with spaces within a quoted string. Try the following:

scons --ssl CPPPATH="c:\boost-path\include c:\openssl-path\include" LIBPATH="c:\boost-path\lib c:\openssl-path\lib"
