[Prasanth Madhavan]

In file included from /usr/include/json_spirit.h:15:0,
                 from Main.cpp:2:
/usr/include/json_spirit_writer.h:14:40: fatal error: json_spirit_writer_options.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

json_spirit_writer_options.h is missing from the package as a result, the package is useless.

Hi,

I also had this problem. I looked for this file on the web and found a version of it. It was recently added to the json spirit code.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20027/JSON-Spirit-A-C-JSON-Parser-Generator-Implemented

An temporary solution is to directly add it to your project until it is added back.
