grimbodroid: Brain dump of trying to install Jansson [JSON library for c]

https://github.com/akheron/jansson

Instructions are:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This did not work, so I tried the other suggestion, to run "autoreconf -i":

pi@raspberrypi /mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/jansson $ sudo autoreconf -i
configure.ac:11: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Error.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

No joy, Googling found this:
    http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=63780

"hi try apt-get install libtool an run ./bootstrap ./configure again."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So try installing libtool:

pi@raspberrypi /mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/jansson $ sudo apt-get install libtool

Worked!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Compiling the Jansson example:
    http://www.digip.org/jansson/doc/2.3/tutorial.html
    http://www.digip.org/jansson/doc/2.3/_downloads/github_commits.c

Requires curl/curl.h!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So try and install curl dev tools.

[installed]

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Proof:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo find / -name curl.h
/usr/include/curl/curl.h

----------------------------------------------------------------------

No idea where the headers and libraries live. This command was the only way I could get it to work.
Specifying the full path to the jansson.h (-I) and libjansson.so (-L) files.

I found this site quite useful:
    http://www.rapidtables.com/code/linux/gcc.htm

pi@raspberrypi /mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/jansson $ sudo gcc -o github_commits github_commits.c -lcurl -I/mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/jansson/src -L/mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/jansson/src/.libs -ljansson

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, running was a pain as I was getting this:

pi@raspberrypi /mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/jansson $ ./github_commits https://github.com/akheron/jansson.git
./github_commits: error while loading shared libraries: libjansson.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I had to revert to a hack documented here:

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I actually did what the instructions said!

http://www.digip.org/jansson/doc/dev/gettingstarted.html

That is, I ran the following commands. All as sudo so that my Pi can write to my NAS share.

./configure
make
make check
make install

Did a check for the library, and found it:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo find / -name libjansson.so
/mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/jansson/src/.libs/libjansson.so
/usr/local/lib/libjansson.so

But still didn't work. Apparently I need to do more.

This SO link mentions "/etc/ld.so.conf", so let's have a look:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4743233/is-usr-local-lib-searched-for-shared-libraries

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

Ok, one include. Let's follow that up:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ll /etc/ld.so.conf.d
total 20
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jul 15 20:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 88 root root 4096 Aug 27 17:58 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   12 Jul 15 18:12 00-vmcs.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   74 Jun 10 06:07 arm-linux-gnueabihf.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   44 Jun 10 01:36 libc.conf

And again:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
# libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib

Ok, so looks like "libjansson.so" has been copied to the right place. Why isn't it working?

More Googling, and now let's try reloading (?) the libraries:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ldconfig
ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied

Nope, try sudo:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo ldconfig

And...

pi@raspberrypi /mnt/nas-backup/apps/raspi/raspi-fun/c/lcd-bbc-json/grimbo $ sudo ./bbctests
