How to create a libJSON library?

I downloaded C++ libJSON from this link:

And they suggest me to use it as a library. How can I create library using the code they have provided?

Solution

  • you must have installed g++ and make in console/terminal just compile it type make, it will produce libjson.a which is static libary. When you create you C/C++ program you can link it with it g++ -l libjson.a

    and in your code include libJSON.h header file.

    #include "libJSON.h"

    and you can use all functions from that header file.

    On windows you must Install MinGW (GNU utilities for Windows), or IDE like DevC++ or Code::Blocks (Code::Blocks use MinGW). You can also use Cygwin unix like environment for windows (but when you compile file in cygwin you can run it only in Cygwin)

    In Code::Blocks when you create project you can set additinal library which will be linked with your executable.
