sapi.lib is not a normal import library. It contains a number of GUID's that must be specially built (which is a pain).
See if one of the attached files work for you (32 and 64 bit versions).
Well, I am trying to develop an application, using the "C" language, that use Microsoft "SAPI" library (COM based library).
The resources for that library (header files and ".lib" files) are included in Windows SDK.
When I configure Pelles C to make it able the see the required Windows SDK header files and ".lib" file (sapi.lib) (by adding "Folders"); and try to built the application, somethings goes wrong with the Windows SDK header files.
All this COM stuff seems to be non-standard, and only supported by Microsoft tools.
Remark: For the moment, I work on this project using "the feature limited" Visual Studio Express.
