What is compile command for g++ to link to festival

[ephraimr]

Hello

I want to use Festival TTS with my C++ programme.

I installed festival in my ubuntu 14.04

**In order to use Festival you must include `festival/src/include/festival.h' which in turn will include the necessary other include files in `festival/src/include' and `speech_tools/include' you should ensure these are included in the include path for you your program. Also you will need to link your program with `festival/src/lib/libFestival.a', `speech_tools/lib/libestools.a', `speech_tools/lib/libestbase.a' and `speech_tools/lib/libeststring.a' as well as any other optional libraries such as net audio. "**

but the problem is that i am bad GCC and I don't know which files i have to include in order to run C++ code and i also don't know how to link libraries with my c++ code.

So what g++ command should I use to compile this file ?

#include "festival.h"

You will need to find festival.h on your hard drive, and use a -I option to tell g++ where the folder that holds festival.h is. The .a files that are mentioned can be located with -L option to tell g++ where the lib folders are that hold the .a files. You also need -l(lowercase L) option to specify what .a files you are including.
