DirectXCollision.h missing

Question

I am using DirectX10, June release and I am trying to

#include <DirectXCollision.h>

so that I can use the bounding objects, however it does not seem to be there. Am I missing something basic?

That header is not part of D3D10 itself, but rather part of the DirectXMath library in the Windows 8 Developer Preview.

	meaning? I can include it with another file? or it's documentation on something that hasn't been released yet? Is there another boundingVolume class I can use or should I just write my own? – Asher Einhorn Oct 7 '11 at 16:23
	Meaning that you need the Windows 8 Preview SDK to use that header and the functionality it provides. You may be able to get similar functionality from the classic D3DX API -- for example, this function -- but you can't use DirectXMath with just the June SDK. You may be better off writing your own, depending on your needs, which you have not described. – Josh Petrie Oct 7 '11 at 17:48
	my needs are for bounding spheres, boxes and rays. – Asher Einhorn Oct 7 '11 at 21:34
