cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

The Jansson port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request <https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/>_ on the vcpkg repository.

site just use the standard autotools commands::

If the source has been checked out from a Git repository, the
./configure script has to be generated first. The easiest way is to
use autoreconf::
$ autoreconf -i
