Which lib do i have to link to use d3dx functions like D3DXLoadTextureFromFileEx or D3DXGetImageInfoFromFile in DIRECTX8 ?
MSDN only gives info for dx9 or 10.
Please don't answer me to upgrade to directx9, i need to use version 8.
Thanks in advance !

Seconded.
You can write DX9 code targetting DX8 class hardware; just don't use any features (mostly SM2.0+ stuff) that the hardware doesn't support. There is, IMO, no reason at all for requiring DX8.
It appears that the gentleman thought C++ was extremely difficult and he was overjoyed that the machine was absorbing it; he understood that good C++ is difficult but the best C++ is well-nigh unintelligible.
