Install MSYS + MinGW.
Install Git.
Install 7zip.
Install Python (I've only tested with 2.7).
jsoncpp uses the Python-based build system "scons" instead of "make".
Update your .profile to include Python27 and Python27/Scripts in your PATH.
Install scons-2.5.1.tar.gz:
Download scons-2.5.1.tar.gz from the scons homepage:
Extract scons-2.5.1 to C:\dev
Start the MinGW Shell
cd /c/dev/scons-2.5.1
python setup.py install
Obtain jsoncpp from sourceforge: 1.7.7 Download
If this is your first time opening .gz, use $PROGRAMFILES/7-Zip/7zFM.exe
Extract jsoncpp-1.7.7.tar.gz directory to $HOME.
Once you have scons and the jsoncpp source, you can build jsoncpp.
Start the MinGW Shell
cd jsoncpp-1.7.7/
scons platform=mingw
That was easy. Create a lib directory and copy the json static library:
mkdir $HOME/lib
cp libs/mingw/libjson_mingw_libmt.a $HOME/lib/
Create an include directory and copy the json headers:
mkdir $HOME/include
cp -pr $HOME/jsoncpp-1.7.7/include/json $HOME/include/json
When you build a program with jsoncpp, you will need linker options:
-L $HOME/lib -l json_mingw_libmt
and compiler options:
-I $HOME/include
Start the MinGW Shell
git clone http://github.com/axus/chrome2favorites.git
cd $HOME/chrome2favorites
make
If everything went well, you will have a new Chrome2Favorites.exe
You need to have C:\dev\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\ in your PATH, so that libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll are linked.
chrome2favorites
This will copy your Chrome "Bookmarks Bar" and "Other Bookmarks" to your IE Favorites folder.
