This repository contains the edition of the open-source json-c library used by webOS.

Below are the tools and libraries (and their minimum versions) required to build cjson:

• autoconf 2.61
• automake 1.9.3
• gcc 4.3
• libtool 1.5.24
• make (any version)

Once you have downloaded the source, execute the following to build it:

$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-static
$ make
$ sudo make install

The header files will be installed under

/usr/local/include/cjson

and the libraries and the pkg-config file under

/usr/local/lib

You can install it elsewhere by supplying the --prefix option when invoking configure. For example:

$ ./configure --disable-static --prefix=$HOME/projects/openwebos
$ make
$ sudo make install

will install the header files under

$HOME/projects/openwebos/include/cjson

and the libraries and the pkg-config file under

$HOME/projects/openwebos/lib

directory.

To undo what make install did, run:

$ sudo make uninstall

The tools required to generate the documentation are:

• doxygen 1.6.3
• graphviz 2.20.2

Once you have run configure, execute the following to generate the documentation:

$ make doc

To view the generated HTML documentation, point your browser to:

doc/html/index.html

To build the test programs, run:

$ make check

If your system has pkg-config then you can just add this to your makefile:

CFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags cjson) LDFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --libs cjson)

See the file COPYING.
