You can use either GCC or Clang to build Jsonnet. Note that on recent versions of macOS, /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ are actually Clang, so there is no difference.

To build Jsonnet with GCC, run:

make

To build Jsonnet with Clang, run:

make CC=clang CXX=clang++

To run the output binary, run:

./jsonnet

Bazel builds are also supported. Install Bazel if it is not installed already. Then, run the following command to build with GCC:

bazel build -c opt //cmd:jsonnet

To build with Clang, use one of these two options:

env CC=clang CXX=clang++ bazel build -c opt //cmd:jsonnet

# OR

bazel build -c opt --action_env=CC=clang --action_env=CXX=clang++ //cmd:jsonnet

This builds the jsonnet target defined in cmd/BUILD. To launch the output binary, run:

bazel-bin/cmd/jsonnet
