Problem compiling pocketsphinx (visual studio

[Mike Medved]

Hi - In addition to the missing file I posted in the "Open discussions"
section, when I try to compile a clean build (from SVN) of pocketsphinx, I get
the following Link errors;

2>batch.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _dict_real_word
referenced in function _write_ctm
2>batch.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _dict_wordid
referenced in function _write_ctm

The sphinxbase and pocketsphinx libraries both compile correctly, but when I
go to build the batch processing program, I get these link errors. It doesn't
seem to make sense because bot functions exist in the file "dict.c" in the
pocketsphinx library.

Help/Thoughts?

Ok, I figured this out (painfully). I bet that you guys mostly compile on
linux/unix/whatever, because what happened is a windows only issue. Since you
are using S3kr3t headerz to get the functions in dict.h, you must do a couple
of things.

1. The directory must be in the include path - add ../../../src/libpocketsphinx; to "Additional Include Directories"
2. Modify dict.h - add #include <pocketsphinx_export.h>
   Add POCKETSPHINX_EXPORT before the two functions dict_real_word and
   dict_wordid. </pocketsphinx_export.h>

Obviously, these are hacks and I'm sure you guys are going to do something
different to actually solve the problem, I just thought I'd put this out there
in the meanwhile.

Thanks, Mike. Yes, it's a work in progress.

This should be solved in trunk. Please test.
