+## error: 'to_string' is not a member of 'std'
+
+This is an error that might come up when using certain GNU based compilers, including:
+
+* MinGW 4.7, 4.8
+* Android NDK
+* ...
+
+This is not an issue with this json tool, but rather with the compiler itself. Here's how I fixed it, thanks to [this page](http://tehsausage.com/mingw-to-string). I do not guarantee that this will work, only that it worked for me.

+### mingw/include/wchar.h, mingw/include/stdio.h
