Linking Assimp
Author
Hi I am having trouble linking the assimp lib, I have spent now 3 hours trying to get it running, I am using windows 7 and visual studio 2010 beta 2.
in one case it builds sucessfully a lib which is 140mb in size. I tried to link that under /MT, gives me a bunch of linker errors.
in another case I compiled a a dll file and a lib which are both around 200kb in size, tried linking that under /MD also a lot of linker errors, lib is linked, dll is in correct folder.
Is it even possible to build it with vs 2010?
It would be amazing if someone could send me the compiled lib in pm.
thanks
If you tell us the errors you're getting, we'll have more chance of being able to fix your problem...
You can of course use it with Visual Studio 2010. It's just that the pre-built libraries that come with the binary package are most probably not linkable with VS2010. I suggest fetching the most recent source codes via Subversion and then just copy the whole directory into your solution's directory and add its vcproj to your solution via the "Add existing project" context menu entry.
You then maybe have to adapt the runtime so that it matches the runtime of your main application, and maybe check a box in the dependency manager to tell VS that your application depends on that project. But I think you're simply done, then. Just recompile and it should build Assimp and link to it automatically.

Thanks for replies,
I didnt post the errors before because they were just the standard errors that you get when a lib is missing, like it cant find the definition of a function.
I tried Schrompf method and it did seem to do something, it built the Assimp project (but no .lib output) that I added but now it says:
I am sorry I dont know what you mean by adapt the runtime of the main application.

Ok I managed to make it work, after trying many different project settings. Now the .lib is 95.7mb large/
Build succeeded.
Time Elapsed 00:01:51.64
Thats the time it took to compile my game project with static lib linked, not the .lib project.
Is this normal?
