[Jsoncpp-devel] Installing jsoncpp library on MacOS

[Radu B. <br...@gm...>]

Hi,
I am trying to use the library on a Mac. Since it is not available via
MacPorts I am trying to build it from source.

I've downloaded the tarball ( 0.5.0 ) , and issued :
scons platform=linux-gcc

which compiles fine.

But there is no installation script via scons, or I am not aware of one.
I have tried manually copying the libraries from
libs/linux-gcc-<ver>/*.{a,dylib} into /opt/local/lib but when I run
otool on the library I get the following :


otool -L /opt/local/lib/libjson_linux-gcc-4.0.1_libmt.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libjson_linux-gcc-4.0.1_libmt.dylib:
	buildscons/linux-gcc-4.0.1/src/lib_json/libjson_linux-gcc-4.0.1_libmt.dylib
(compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 111.1.6)
	/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.4.0)
	/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

Also, I tried linking my test program against it and of course it
failed at runtime since it cannot find the library.

Is there a documented way of installing the library on a Mac ?

FWIW, I have tried the same with the libraries located under
buildscons/linux-gcc ... with the same results.

Help ?

Thanks,
Radu
