    I'm trying to compile a Directx tutorial. The compiler says that it cannot find the D3dx8.h file, so I guess it's because I'm not linking to the D3dx8.lib library. I did a search on my system and the library is NOT there. So I installed Directx 9 (I already had version 8), hoping the file would come with it but it didn't appear in a new search. Where do I get the D3dx8.lib from? Thanks, Dave :-D

      I believe this is directx 8 stuff. You need the directx 8 SDK. John

          After you do this remember to add the include and lib directories to your directories settings in visual studio so that the compiler can find the SDK. John
