NAME
bson_include_and_link - Using libbson In Your C Program
INCLUDE BSON.H
All libbson's functions and types are available in one header file. Simply include bson.h:
hello_bson.c.INDENT 0.0
#include <stdio.h>
#include <bson.h>
int
main (int argc, const char **argv)
{
bson_t *b;
char *j;
b = BCON_NEW ("hello", BCON_UTF8 ("bson!"));
j = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (b, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", j);
bson_free (j);
bson_destroy (b);
return 0;
}
CMAKE
The libbson installation includes a CMake config-file package, so you can use CMake's find_package
command to find libbson's header and library paths and link to libbson: CMakeLists.txt.INDENT 0.0
# Specify the minimum version you require.
find_package (libbson-1.0 1.7 REQUIRED)
message ("-- libbson found version \"${BSON_VERSION}\"")
message ("-- libbson include path \"${BSON_INCLUDE_DIRS}\"")
message ("-- libbson libraries \"${BSON_LIBRARIES}\"")
# The "hello_bson.c" sample program is shared among four tests.
add_executable (hello_bson ../../hello_bson.c)
target_include_directories (hello_bson PRIVATE ${BSON_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries (hello_bson PRIVATE ${BSON_LIBRARIES})
target_compile_definitions (hello_bson PRIVATE ${BSON_DEFINITIONS})
libbson-static-1.0 config-file package and (on Unix) link to pthread:
# Specify the minimum version you require.
find_package (libbson-static-1.0 1.7 REQUIRED)
message ("-- libbson-static found version \"${BSON_STATIC_VERSION}\"")
message ("-- libbson-static include path \"${BSON_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS}\"")
message ("-- libbson-static libraries \"${BSON_STATIC_LIBRARIES}\"")
# The "hello_bson.c" sample program is shared among four tests.
add_executable (hello_bson ../../hello_bson.c)
target_include_directories (hello_bson PRIVATE ${BSON_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries (hello_bson PRIVATE ${BSON_STATIC_LIBRARIES})
target_compile_definitions (hello_bson PRIVATE ${BSON_STATIC_DEFINITIONS})
PKG-CONFIG
If you're not using CMake, use pkg-config on the command line to set header and library paths:
gcc -o hello_bson hello_bson.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags libbson-1.0)
Or to statically link to libbson:
gcc -o hello_bson hello_bson.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags libbson-static-1.0)
