Linking to festival in gcc

[josharmenta]

Having problems including init.scm via the API.

When running the compiled binary on a machine without festival:

$ ./a.out
Initialization file /usr/local/lib/festival/lib/init.scm not found
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : SynthText
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : utt.features
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : utt2

When trying to include init.scm in gcc:
ld: warning: ignoring file /usr/local/lib/festival/lib/init.scm, building for macOS-x86_64 but attempting to link with file built for unknown-unsupported file format ( 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B 0x3B )

Any suggestions?
