Dec 31, 2014 at 19:15 comment added Francis Alright, it was a code problem, the shader I was loading was wrong and made it look like nothing was being drawn. I have managed to build a working version of libassimp.dll.a and assimp.dll but I still don't know how I did it - I just pulled levers in cMake and crossed my fingers until it spat out something that worked. If someone knows how to build assimp I'd appreciate if they could write up the procedure.
Dec 31, 2014 at 8:54 comment added Francis The program I was running didn't get as far as the first line before it crashed. I also got the program down to a single creation of an Assimp::Importer object. Linking with the dll (even though I was supposed to be static linking) was cause the crash. In any case I don't have the library that was built anymore - I deleted everything when I tried to do a fresh build. I can't work out how to build Assimp, and I'd like someone to provide instructions.

Dec 31, 2014 at 8:25 comment added Anko Why have you concluded that the library you built is bad? Do you have identical test code that works on a "known-good" build of the library?

Dec 31, 2014 at 6:22 comment added Francis I have edited the question, hopefully that clarifies it. What I want to know is how to build Assimp, I can't find any instructions for building with MinGW. The information isn't several problems I need solved, just what I've already tried trying to build Assimp. I've included all the error information allready - unfortunately they weren't very descriptive which is why so far I've been guessing what the cause is. I know the function calls are right - I'm fairly certain the crash was caused by a link error due to the library I built being bad - which is why my question is how to build Assimp?

Dec 31, 2014 at 1:39 comment added congusbongus You're running into multiple issues and not giving enough details for others to diagnose. I suggest you break things up and address issues one by one, giving relevant information for each. For example, what parameters exactly did you use with CMake? What kind of test program were you using? What were the details of the crash - any outputs, stack traces? Did you check errors in your function calls? What are your test files?
