jsoncpp issue in Debian/Ubuntu distros

[ghost]

I have trouble building DisCpp, or with the json library. I get an error that says I don't have the json.h file, and it isn't on json's releases. I have also tried compiling json myself to see if I could get the file, but still there's only json.hpp.

My system is an Acer Aspire One D270; Debian 9.

I think what you need is libjsoncpp-dev

Seems like it's the problem with apt package manager, therefore you can link then the the directory where it should be.
Also if you are not comfortable with linking files, you can add flags to Makefile, to your directory of jsoncpp! Hope this works!

Fixed it with for file in $(fgrep -rl "<json/json.h>"); do sed -i "s/<json\/json.h>/<jsoncpp\/json\/json.h>/" $file; done.
