Sphinx Ubuntu 14 c++ sphinx_config.h not found - c++

Question

I have installed PocketSphinx on Ubuntu 14 and now trying to create simple sample. I took code from official website Sphinx.
#include <pocketsphinx.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
ps_decoder_t *ps;
cmd_ln_t *config;
FILE *fh;
char const *hyp, *uttid;
int16 buf[512];
int rv;
int32 score;
config = cmd_ln_init(NULL, ps_args(), TRUE,
"-hmm", MODELDIR "/en-us/en-us",
"-lm", MODELDIR "/en-us/en-us.lm.dmp",
"-dict", MODELDIR "/en-us/cmudict-en-us.dict",
NULL);
if (config == NULL)
return 1;
ps = ps_init(config);
if (ps == NULL)
return 1;
fh = fopen("goforward.raw", "rb");
if (fh == NULL)
return -1;
rv = ps_start_utt(ps);
if (rv < 0)
return 1;
while (!feof(fh)) {
size_t nsamp;
nsamp = fread(buf, 2, 512, fh);
rv = ps_process_raw(ps, buf, nsamp, FALSE, FALSE);
}
rv = ps_end_utt(ps);
if (rv < 0)
return 1;
hyp = ps_get_hyp(ps, &score);
if (hyp == NULL)
return 1;
printf("Recognized: %s\n", hyp);
fclose(fh);
ps_free(ps);
cmd_ln_free_r(config);
return 0;
}
And Qmake is
QT += core
QT -= gui
TARGET = OpenCVQt
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app
DEPENDPATH += /usr/local/lib
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include/pocketsphinx
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include/sphinxbase
LIBS += -lopencv_core
LIBS += -lopencv_imgproc
LIBS += -lopencv_highgui
LIBS +=-lpocketsphinx
LIBS += -lsphinxbase
LIBS += -lsphinxad
SOURCES += main.cpp
Can't understand what is wrong. I saw sphinx_config.h in /usr/local/include/sphinxbase. Thanks.

I solved it with this CMake config:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
add_definitions(-std=c++11)
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(POCKETSPHINX REQUIRED pocketsphinx)
pkg_check_modules(SPHINXBASE REQUIRED sphinxbase)
message(STATUS "SPHINXBASE_LIBRARIES => " "${SPHINXBASE_LIBRARIES}")
message(STATUS "POCKETSPHINX_LIBRARIES => " "${POCKETSPHINX_LIBRARIES}")
message(STATUS "POCKETSPHINX_INCLUDE_DIRS => " "${POCKETSPHINX_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
message(STATUS "SPHINXBASE_INCLUDE_DIRS => " "${SPHINXBASE_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
set(
your_pocketsphinx_app_src
your_pocketsphinx_app.cpp
...
)
add_executable(your_pocketsphinx_app your_pocketsphinx_app.cpp)
set_property(TARGET your_pocketsphinx_app PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 11)
target_include_directories(your_pocketsphinx_app PUBLIC ${POCKETSPHINX_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_include_directories(your_pocketsphinx_app PUBLIC ${SPHINXBASE_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_compile_options(your_pocketsphinx_app PUBLIC ${POCKETSPHINX_CFLAGS_OTHER})
target_compile_options(your_pocketsphinx_app PUBLIC ${SPHINXBASE_CFLAGS_OTHER})
target_link_libraries(your_pocketsphinx_app ${SPHINXBASE_LIBRARIES})
target_link_libraries(your_pocketsphinx_app ${POCKETSPHINX_LIBRARIES})
# Binary to be installed.
install(TARGETS your_pocketsphinx_app DESTINATION bin)

You seem to have installation of sphinxbase headers in /usr/include, not in /usr/local/include. If you intentionally compiled sphinxbase this way, you need to add -I/usr/include/sphinxbase in Makefile, not -I/usr/local/include/sphinxbase.
Overall pocketsphinx-5prealpha requires sphinxbase-5prealpha and default installation prefix for them is /usr/local. I suggest you to remove sphinxbase from /usr.
