Cmake & assimp

[Kamjam66xx]

I decided to ask for help right away instead of figuring it out, because ive never used cmake before until like 5 minutes ago. im just trying to setup "open asset import library" but i got this. can anyone help right my wrongs if im not using it right?

That's a really bad habit to get into. If you've never used it before, there's a good chance that the answer might be obvious after a bit of googling.

Have you tried looking through https://github.com/assimp/assimp/blob/master/Build.md ?

This is one hell of an issue to fix, and apparently specific to my copy of windows and direct x. should be fine though. 

 

Upon reading through some of the plain text files for the assimp Cmake stuff, i found this. which i can only guess it means i need dx_9 sdk, which i cant seem to be able to.

IF ( WIN32 AND DirectX_D3DX9_LIBRARY )
option ( ASSIMP_BUILD_ASSIMP_VIEW "If the Assimp view tool is built. 
(requires DirectX)" ${DirectX_FOUND} )
IF ( ASSIMP_BUILD_ASSIMP_VIEW )
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY( tools/assimp_view/ )
ENDIF ( ASSIMP_BUILD_ASSIMP_VIEW )
ENDIF ( WIN32 AND DirectX_D3DX9_LIBRARY )

i keep getting told to install windows 8 SDK but it WONT install  hurray! lol
