Installation on OSX is currently a PITA if you don't have brew (I don't so that my system stays more similar to users of things, and because I'm a masochist apparently). See this issue as this will be fixed in jq 1.5. So, create an executable shell script sheep
in the jq directory containing
#!/bin/sh
echo "baa"
and run YACC=./sheep ./configure
- make
should run fine after that.
There is a library target for jq, which is great because now we only have to wrap a library, rather than write one. Further, there is a set of Python bindings that we can use as a starting point. The repo is here.
