I am trying to statically build Assimp on Windows to later make a standalone executable. Here is what I did:
- I downloaded the 3.1.1 version and used Cmake GUI.
- I unchecked BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and checked ASSIMP_BUILD_STATIC_LIB
- Clicked on configure and Generate
- Opened the solution with Visual Studio 2013 in administrator mode
- Right cliked on ALL_BUILD and build
At this point everything worked fine. Then I tried to build INSTALL (right click > build) and it failed with:
file INSTALL cannot find
"C:/Users/.../assimp-3.1.1/build/code/Debug/assimpd.pdb"
I have two questions:
- Should I actually build INSTALL as I only want a static build?
- If yes, what did I do wrong/what should I do to fix this?
Thank you very much for your time!
PS: I checked the directory Debug and there is only a assimpd.lib
