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

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



Prebuilt HTML documentation is available at

http://www.digip.org/jansson/doc/.



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.
