+ This sample application conditionally links in the Jansson JSON
+ library, so if you are using a multilib or cross compile environment you
+ may need to set the ``PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`` environmental variable to point to
+ the relevant pkgconfig folder so that the correct library is linked in.
+
+ For example, if you are building for a 32-bit target, you could find the
+ correct directory using the following ``find`` command:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ # find /usr -type d -name pkgconfig
+ /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
+ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
+
+ Then use:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
+
+ You then use the make command as normal, which should find the 32-bit
+ version of the library, if it installed. If not, the application will
+ be built without the JSON interface functionality.
