Working with libjackserver on Windows

[vrslev]

jackserver library is shipped with official JACK package on Windows. But it is not installed in C:\Windows, so users can't use it in directory different from C:\Program Files [x86]\JACK2. What is official way to use this lib?

There are very little uses for linking to jackserver. But the library is not put in %windir% simply because it was not necessary, so I assume you have a usecase here?
Are you developing a new opensource jack control type of gui?

I’m making a wrapper around JACK and JackTrip for audio networking using Python. For purpose of controlling JACK server I created Python package jack_server — it uses jackserver lib.

ah then on python you can just use registry entires to find the location of jack2.
