Errors when compiling DXUT.cpp

Question

I think I must be missing a compiler option or something but I was working my wasy through the DirectX SDK samples and tutorials when I started having problems compiling the FSFluid11 sample. I'm getting 86 errors and 2 warnings starting with these........

I'm assuming that the code is really ok and I've overlooked something simple in the compiler options or I didn't install something I need.  I'm running Windows 7 and using Visual Studio 2008.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

According the error message, it seem to be still hard for us to  find out the cause of your issue. So I suggest you can follow these error message to find the place in your sample and fix it.

The compiler don't see DirectX headers. You should show where they are. Have you installed DirectX SDK? If yes then check the compiler options to ensure that the path to include files is specified correctly.
