I want to build assimp form source (so I just want to drag and drop the assimp source code into my project) how can I do this in an existing project?

I downloaded the assimp source code, but there is no real source code. there is a folder called "code" with a lot of files in it, but if I just drag and drop those in into my project I will not work and how do I do this without boost?

What I have tried:

I tried to drag and drop the "code" folder into my existing project, but that caused errors like "cannot open source file "xxx" ".

Assimp is a library. To use it you build it as a separate project to create the libraries or use the provided pre-compiled ones. Then you link your application with the libraries. For installation and building it yourself see the documentation: Assimp: Installation[^].

That mentions also the methods to build it without boost.

To link your project with additional libraries, see the docmentation of your development environment (IDE).
