zed: not able to use MSYS2's clangd

[BLumia]

Description / Steps to reproduce the issue

I'm reporting this issue here because...

Please, report any issue in msys2/MINGW-packages/issues first.           --windows.md

Currently it seems Zed won't recognize MSYS2's clangd, don't support setting the location of clangd manually, and also won't be able to download its own clangd successfully.

Reproduce steps:

1. Create a simple CMake-based C++ project
2. run cmake -Bbuild . -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to ensure compile_commands.json is generated
3. run zed . to start the zed editor, which is installed by running pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-zed
4. See result.

Feel free to let me know if you need any additional information.

Expected behavior

The clangd-based C++ intellisense features should be available (able to Ctrl+Click to jump to definition, etc.)

Actual behavior

The clangd-based C++ intellisense features is not working at all, we can also "Downloading clangd..." on the status bar, and it also won't finish download. Beside that, it also seems we can not set the location of clangd manually.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

No (since it might be a Zed issue instead of MSYS2 packaging issue)

Could you get some hint in Process Monitor (filter: process name zed.exe)?

[BLumia]

The filtered results are seven figured and I'm not sure where to look at. Could you explain in detail? btw, does it mean it works as intended on your device?

[Biswa96]

It does not work in my device and fails with some vulkan related error probably due to absense of dGPU.
