MariaDB Connector/c++ throwing exception - c++

Question

I am trying to connect to my MariaDB instance using the MariaDB Connector/c++. Here is the code where I tried to use the already compiled version of the connector:
#include <iostream>
#include <mariadb/conncpp.hpp>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
try
{
// Instantiate Driver
sql::Driver* driver = sql::mariadb::get_driver_instance();
// Configure Connection
sql::SQLString url("jdbc:mariadb://X.X.X.X:3306/myMariaDB");
sql::Properties properties({
{"user", "root"},
{"password", "myPassword"},
{"useTls", "true"},
{"tlsCA", "myFile.pem"}
});
// Establish Connection
std::unique_ptr<sql::Connection> conn(driver->connect(url, properties));
std::cout << "I connected successfully!";
conn->close();
}
catch (sql::SQLException& e)
{
std::cerr << "Error Connecting to MariaDB Platform: "
<< e.what() << std::endl;
// Exit (Failed)
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Running the code throws exception at the //Establish Connection line:
Exception thrown: read access violation.
other.theString._Mypair._Myval2 was 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEF.
Searching the internet people suggested to recompile the connector source which I got from Github https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-cpp#readme
I tried to compile the source using VS 2019 and CMake. I have to say that this is my first encounter with CMake and I know very little about it. It seems that both are failing to build the cloned repo. below is the error I get form VS 2019 which is very similar to what I get from CMake. I also get an error in the "Error List" tab in VS 2019 : CMAke Error at libmariadb/cmake/version_info.cmake:15 (STRING):...:

I have ran out of ideas on how to resolve this. Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

In the mariadb c++ connector site(https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-cpp)
git clone
git clone https://github.com/MariaDB-Corporation/mariadb-connector-cpp.git
build with debug mode(default is Release with Debug info)
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG -DCONC_WITH_UNIT_TESTS=Off -DCONC_WITH_MSI=OFF -DWITH_SSL=SCHANNEL .
cmake --build . --config DEBUG
replace previous library with debug..
