I tried to load an image (DirectX9) using this guide, but I get 2-3 errors so I can't build. And I followed the instructions exactly as it said. The errors are on:
#include <D3dx9tex.h> (error says cannot open source file)
D3DXCreateTextureFromFileA(g_pd3dDevice (error says identifier is undefined)

I searched google for this D3dx9tex.h but could not find it btw

It is part of D3DX which is a helper toolkit normally installed with DX9 SDK.

This DirectX SDK is not supported on Windows 10 (system requirements). (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=6812)
I think only older PCs can access DX9 SDK. Or maybe I made a mistake and overlooked something?

It’s still available for download. However if you can’t use the DX9 sdk why bothering about loading textures for it. Use DX11.
