To build and run this program on Windows, the following tools should be available:
gcc --version
g++ --version
gdb --version
In order to use the C/C++ debugger on VS Code, I also make sure to open the directory by running the
Developer Command Prompt for VS, navigating to the directory, and running code .
from within the directory.
assimp
Download and compile the assimp
library as described here. I
recommend building it from source. By default this builds a dynamically linked library, so be sure to copy the .dll
file to the lib
directory and the generated assimp/include/assimp
folder into your assimp
directory.
I followed this video to get my setup to actually work.
