The Jansson source is available at
http://www.digip.org/jansson/releases/.
+Unix-like systems
+-----------------

Unpack the source tarball and change to the source directory:
.. parsed-literal::
.. _libtool: http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
+Windows
+-------
+
+On Windows (and other non-Unix-like systems), you may be unable to run
+the ``./configure`` script. In this case, follow these steps. All the
+files mentioned can be found in the ``src/`` directory.
+
+1. Rename ``jansson_config.h.win32`` to ``jansson_config.h``. This
+ file has some platform-specific parameters that are normally filled
+ in by the ``./configure`` script.
+
+2. Make ``jansson.h`` and ``jansson_config.h`` available to the
+ compiler, so that they can be found when compiling programs that
+ use Jansson.
+
+3. Compile all the ``.c`` files (in the ``src/`` directory) into a
+ library file. Make the library available to the compiler, as in
+ step 2.
