[Jsoncpp-devel] Conflict of JsonCpp headers with Json-C

[Andris P. <and...@ik...>]

Json-C (http://oss.metaparadigm.com/json-c/) also installs file
/usr/include/json/json.c. Json-C package is present at least in
some Linux distributions (it is in Fedora)

It would be nice to avoid conflict with JsonCpp header file
include/json/json.h. One way would be to move all headers to
include/jsoncpp/ from include/json/. Unfortunatelly this
change would break already existing software which uses
JsonCpp.

Perhaps it would be better to put headers in new place and
add forwarding headers in old place. For example:

include/json/json.h could contain

#ifndef __JSONCPP_JSON_JSON_H__
#define __JSONCPP_JSON_JSON_H__
#warning Header file json/json.h is deprecated. Use jsoncpp/json.h instead
#include <jsoncpp/json.h>
#endif

and similarly for other headers. After some time it would then be possible
to remove headers at old place.
