`json-c`
========
Building on Unix with `git`, `gcc` and `autotools`
--------------------------------------------------
Home page for json-c: https://github.com/json-c/json-c/wiki
Caution: do **NOT** use sources from svn.metaparadigm.com,
they are old.
Prerequisites:
- `gcc`, `clang`, or another C compiler
- `libtool`
If you're not using a release tarball, you'll also need:
- `autoconf` (`autoreconf`)
- `automake`
Make sure you have a complete `libtool` install, including `libtoolize`.
`json-c` GitHub repo: https://github.com/json-c/json-c
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/json-c/json-c.git
$ cd json-c
$ sh autogen.sh
```
followed by
```bash
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
```
To build and run the test programs:
```bash
$ make check
```
Linking to `libjson-c`
----------------------
If your system has `pkgconfig`,
then you can just add this to your `makefile`:
```make
CFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags json-c)
LDFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --libs json-c)
```
Without `pkgconfig`, you would do something like this:
```make
JSON_C_DIR=/path/to/json_c/install
CFLAGS += -I$(JSON_C_DIR)/include/json-c
LDFLAGS+= -L$(JSON_C_DIR)/lib -ljson-c
```
