please help on building Jansson in windows environment

[Jici Gao]

Hi

I am trying to compile jansson (latest 2.7 via git clone) under windows environment, here is what I have tried:

1) I am using MinGW compiler on windows

2) also using cmake : cmake -G “MinGW Makefiles” -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc ../jansson

3) everything goes well, however it does not generate libjansson.dll which I am expecting, but only libjansson.a 

Anything I missed?

thanks in advance!

You need -DJANSSON_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1, see:
