Michal Privoznik 360b1ef5a1 Enable -Bsymbolic-functions linker flag whenever possible It was discovered fairly recently that JSON parsing libraries use common pattern to name their exported symbols (they all use json_ prefix). So eventually it happens that two symbols from two different libraries have the same name. This will lead to cryptic crashes (see [1] and [2]). Linking with -Bsymbolic-functions prevents this. 1: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/json-glib/issues/33 2: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jansson-users/7Efx-RI45IU Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>		2018-08-09 07:54:26 +03:00

Compilation and Installation
----------------------------

If you obtained a source tarball, just use the standard autotools
commands::

   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ make install

To run the test suite, invoke::

   $ make check

If the source has been checked out from a Git repository, the
./configure script has to be generated first. The easiest way is to
use autoreconf::

   $ autoreconf -i


Documentation
-------------

Documentation is available at http://jansson.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

The documentation source is in the ``doc/`` subdirectory. To generate
HTML documentation, invoke::

   $ make html

Then, point your browser to ``doc/_build/html/index.html``. Sphinx_
1.0 or newer is required to generate the documentation.
