========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I am probably missing a lib file.

It can't find the D3DX functions. I'm guessing you're missing d3dx9.lib in your project linker inputs.

Have you setup the paths correctly for DirectX SDK so the linker can actually find the .lib file. Also make sure you are linking against the correct one so 64 bit link against the one in 64bit dir and 32 one against the one in the 32 bit dir.

Worked on titles: CMR:DiRT2, DiRT 3, DiRT: Showdown, GRID 2, theHunter, theHunter: Primal, Mad Max, Watch Dogs: Legion
