now is it just a case of linking my project to the libs and headers and will my compiled exe atomatically  be shipped with the required libs built in to run on other systems.

Yes, I think it will work on other XP config too.

Anyway try the attached file below, maybe it can help you.

I thought everything you need is in the platform SDK?  It should be relatively easy to port the basic FB stuff to C++.  Don't even think about doing it in C - you'll hit the same roadblock as I did with FB.  Doing COM in FB is painfull!

that works fine rbraz cheers mate,

@jim dev c++ doesnt come with sapi.h or the libs so i tryed dl the redist sdk but when i unzip it all i have is msm files that add up to 128 megs worth, so im not sure where to go.

[Jim]

The msm packages are probably no good to you.  They enable you to distribute the SAPI SDK itself, which isn't what you want to do.

Go here

And download 'SpeechSDK51.exe'. 
Extract the zip and run setup.exe

You'll need to add
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1\Include
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1\Lib\i386
to the include/lib folders in DevC++

cheers jim!

i think im really close to getting something going but im getting two linker errors

  [linker error] undefined reference to `IID_ISpVoice'
  [linker error] undefined reference to `CLSID_SpVoice'

and when i try to include the sapi.lib under project->project options->parameters i get

  .drectve `/DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib" /DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib" ' unrecognized

ive looked around but cant see any other libs that are going to fix it up.

edit - actually  .drectve `/DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib" /DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib" ' unrecognized
is just a warning and it runs fine. guess it was never meant to run under dev c so a warning or two is expected.

[Jim]

Ignore that warning.  FB gives it too.  Microsoft are adding manufacturer specific chunks to the .obj/.lib files that other vendors don't understand (yet).
