The distribution of assimp comes with a lib folder. This folder has the following sub folders :
assimp_debug-dll_win32
assimp_debug-dll_x64
assimp_release-dll_win32
assimp_release-dll_x64
Each of those folders has a single file, assimp.lib. How can I include the correct lib based on my configuration (debug/release)? Currently, assimp is in a folder outside of my project and I’ve added the paths to Tools->Options->VC++ Directories->Library files, but I’m not sure its working.
You should add the library directories to the project itself rather than as a global setting in visual studio.
To do this, you can right click on the project in the solution explorer. Then under the VC++ directories section, add in the correct path to assimp. You should just add the path that corresponds to the current (i.e. debug or release/win32 or x64) setup to this list. There should be a drop down at the top to select the current configuration that you are editing.
This applies to VS2010 anyway, I’m not 100% sure about VS2008. The library path may be under Project Settings -> Linker ->General -> Additional Library Directories if the VC++ directories section does not exist.
