Linking problems with jsoncpp

Question

I'm trying to use the amalgamated version of jsoncpp in my own project. When using my makefile, it complains that it doesn't find json_tool.h:

input/jsoncpp.cpp:193:23: fatal error: json_tool.h: No such file or directory
#include "json_tool.h"

In my makefile I have:

jsoncpp.o: input/jsoncpp.cpp input/json/json.h
    $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -c input/jsoncpp.cpp $(LIBS)

with jsoncpp.cpp and json/json.h the ones created by the amalgamate.py script. What am I doing wrong?

You have not set up your include path properly

Add the following to your build command:

-I input/json/

Good point. (Though it should be -I input/.) We should be using #include "json/json.h" instead of #include <json/json.h>. Fixed.

@cdunn Yeah granted :) I guess it's down to you to provide an authoritative answer now :)
