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})
the included 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)
