fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'D3dx8core.h': No such file or directory
It is trying to compile with DirectX 8 in addition to DirectX 9. Unless you really need DirectX 8 for some reason I would suggest just commenting out all DirectX 8 code and compile. If you need DirectX 8 you will have to find the DX8 SDK and add the directories for it just as you did for 9.

I'm still using dxsdk_sum2004 (summer 2004) version. Ever since feb2005 version of the sdk it seems like dx8 has been left out.
that's why I still haven't upgraded to it yet. Unless Irrlicht becomes dx9 only (and opengl, hehehe) you'll need an older version of the sdk to compile all the dx8 in Irrlicht's source.
Or you might as well remove all the dx8 stuff in the engine leaving only dx9.
