Linking against jsoncpp using CMake

This one sucked

Build jsoncpp

git clone https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp.git; (cd jsoncpp && mkdir build)
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -G "Unix Makefiles" ../; make; make install

Know: The static lib is called jsoncpp_static and the shared is jsoncpp_lib. smh.
In your CMakeLists.txt do a

find_package(jsoncpp REQUIRED)

And then do a

target_link_libraries(your_lib
  jsoncpp_lib
)
