Missing library file (sapi.lib).

[ClaudeQC]

Hello,

I am trying to built an application using Microsoft SAPI library, with Pelles C.
I tried with Pelles C V7.00 and now, with Pelles C V8.00 RC4.
In both cases, Pelles C say: "POLINK: fatal error: File not found: 'sapi.lib'."
I have included "sapi.h" in the source file, and Pelles C find it.  But can not find "sapi.lib".
Any clue will be appreciated.

Remark: I done search on the forum and found this: http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=1643.msg6910#msg6910
But link mentioned in this post is no more valid :-(

You will have to either copy sapi.lib from the sdk to the PellesC\Lib\Win folder since it is not there.  Or you will need to add the sdk library location to the Pelles C IDE.  You can add it by selecting Project Menu>Project Options>Folders Tab>Select Type "Libraries" and click on "New Folder."

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.

You can try this.
The tool doesn't copy the libraries, you can copy them by yourself or add SDK libraries folder in linker folder.
