I'm trying to use MSVC to compile a C program with the Flite text-to-speech library, but I'm getting unresolved external symbol errors.

I started with the "C Example" from the Flite docs but they use gcc. I was able to get rid of some errors by linking ws2_32.lib and legacy_stdio_definitions.lib but I can't find a solution to the remaining ones.

Do I just need to use a different compiler, or is there some solution that will allow me to use MSVC?

main.c

#include "flite.h"

register_cmu_us_kal();

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    cst_voice *v;

    if (argc != 2)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "usage: flite_test FILE\n");
        exit(-1);
    }

    flite_init();

    v = register_cmu_us_kal(NULL);

    flite_file_to_speech(argv[1], v, "play");
}

build.bat

cl ..\src\main.c -I "../lib/Flite/include/" /link ws2_32.lib legacy_stdio_definitions.lib /LIBPATH:"../lib/Flite/lib" libflite_cmu_us_kal.a libflite_usenglish.a libflite_cmulex.a libflite.a
