I need to do runtime stuff involving FBX, so having learned that UE4’s own FBX functions are Editor-only (and thus can’t be included for runtime), I’m now trying to integrate the FBX SDK into my project. I’m very new to C++ so this is way over my head right now.
Autodesk’s own instructions for using the FBX SDK in a project (link below) are useless, because none of those steps seem to apply to an Unreal project.
So I tried simply adding the files from the FBX SDK ‘include’ folder into the Source folder of my project - these files consist of a header (‘fbxsdk.h’) and a folder containing a lot of other files.
Then in a C++ Actor class I added #include “fbxsdk.h” to the header and tried to build. It threw all these errors:

6 unresolved externals
I mean, I wasn’t really expecting it be as easy as just adding those files to my source, but I have no idea (even after a couple of hours googling) what this really means, nor how to resolve it.
Can anyone help me out?
