1. Start emacs with 'emacs -Q'
2. M-x eval-expression (json-serialize '()) RET
3. Switch to *Messages* buffer, note message 'jansson library not found'
The jansson library is required for native JSON support which is
required for lsp-mode. Without the library, lsp-mode does not work
correctly, specifically with clangd for C++ development.
Copying libjansson-4.dll from another project (e.g. mingw64) into the
bin directory and restarting emacs restores lsp-mode functionality.
It would seem that libjansson*.dll is missing from the Windows installer.
