We forget to check or use the return value of the ADVANCE_CHAR macro, and upon compilation an error is thrown because of its lack of use. This patch checks to see if the macro was successful, and if not replaces the offending character with a replacement.

Linking to libjson-c
If your system has pkgconfig then you can just add this to your makefile
CFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags json-c)
LDFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --libs json-c)
Without pkgconfig, you would do something like this:
JSON_C_DIR=/path/to/json_c/install
CFLAGS += -I$(JSON_C_DIR)/include/json-c
LDFLAGS+= -L$(JSON_C_DIR)/lib -ljson-c
