## Common questions

### What CMake issues have been reported when building mongo-cxx-driver 4.5.0 with VS2022 on Windows?

CMake errors can occur even if the C driver download succeeds. The thread notes that building the C++ driver from a self-built C driver is not clearly explained.

### How can I install the modern MongoDB C++ driver on Fedora?

Install the mongo-cxx-driver-devel package. The Fedora discussion says this provides the modern C++ MongoDB driver and replaces the legacy driver.

### What should I check before upgrading to a newer version of the C++ driver?

Check the Upgrade Driver Versions documentation. It explains what changes you might need to make to your application when upgrading driver versions.
