Install YAJL 2 for much faster basicfile parsing. (todo: find windows installer)
Instructions for Windows:
- Install cmake
- Install "Visual C++ for Python"
- Clone the source of yajl
- Follow the instructions in BUILDING.win32 to build + install yajl (be sure to run the cmd prompt as administrator)
- Copy yajl.dll from the build folder into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and C:\Windows\System32 (I'm not sure which of these is necessary, but it works for me when it's in both)
todo: make a script that automates as much of this as possible (e.g. cloning + installing yajl)
