I am trying to load 3d objects in C++/OpenGl using ASSIMP library. I am trying to figure out how to install ASSIMP. I tried to follow the instructions on http://assimp.sourceforge.net/lib_html/install.html could not make any sense out of it. I downloaded and installed assimp-view and assimp-sdk from http://sourceforge.net/projects/assimp/files/assimp-3.0/ and tried run a sample program provided in the download. It cannot find the include header files. I am very new to C++. and Have no idea about library setup. I have never used CMAKE as well. Can anyone help me figure this out.

Also in the mean time I want to know about importing external libraries in C++. I can see that there are a few ways I can import an external libraries. Can anyone point me to a good started guide to learn about library import in C++.

Thanks in advance
