jansson 2.14 doesn't generate lib file for Windows

[darkshade9]

I'm trying to use this wrap

https://wrapdb.mesonbuild.com/v2/jansson_2.14-2/jansson.wrap

for MSVC-based builds (uses: ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd@v1)

for the MSVC-based version, I am getting this error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'subprojects\jansson-2.14\jansson.lib'

I'm looking for some guidance if I am doing something wrong.

I believe I resolved this by setting this as a static library rather than shared, for my case at least
project('jansson', 'c', version : '2.14', license : 'MIT', default_options: ['default_library=static'])
