Compatibility between MongoDB server and Mongo C++ Driver

I'm new to the MongoDB. My virtual machine runs Ubuntu 14.04.5 with mongod, which is standard for this OS:

hekto@ubuntu:~$ mongod --version
db version v2.4.9
Tue Jun  5 18:00:23.923 git version: nogitversion

I've built a Mongo C++ Driver Ver 3.2.0 from sources and tried to write some tests. All of them output an exception below:

Server at localhost:27017 reports wire version 0, but this version of libmongoc requires at least 3 (MongoDB 3.0): generic server error

It looks like the C++ client and the server are incompatible.

Are there any tricks, which can be used with the Mongo C++ Driver to force it to work with older Mongo servers?

I can't convert the database itself to any new format for now, but also wouldn't like to learn the obsolete driver API.

MongoDB 2.4.9 has been end-of-life for quite some time: https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy, and most drivers have dropped support for talking to it.

If you are just starting with MongoDB, you should start with the newest available stable version, which is currently 3.6.5.

You can obtain packages for Ubuntu 14.04 according to the instructions here https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
