I have CMake GUI, but I saw several Assimp...io CMake files, and I wasn't sure which one to load.
You just have to select the root folder of Assimp in the "Where is the source code" field, you have nothing to do with the cmake files.
Check my previous screenshot, sorry the link was broken in my previous post :

Is the code fot the Assimp viewer there too?
There are 2 viewer bundled with Assimp.
The old and main Assimp viewer is the DirectX viewer and you dont need anything special to build it except having the old DirectX 9 SDK installed.
There is a new viewer based on Qt, but it's not necessary if you have the DirectX SDK because the DirectX viewer is currently better (animations support), so if you don't have Qt, dont worry about this it's not important.

Incomplete, I´ve read the entire FBX format, IrrExt isn't just incomplete, its just a shell, doesn't even process the needed tokens, or inflate the compressed section, there is no ZLib use in it!
Its a painful way to learn and a bad waste of time, which is irreplaceable! Sorry for the rant!
Yes, the FBX loader on IrrExt is old and incomplete.
