Unknown type name with Assimp library

Question

I'm using the assimp library within my C project. I installed the library with sudo apt install libassimp5 and included the following headers:

#include <assimp/cimport.h>
#include <assimp/postprocess.h> 
#include <assimp/scene.h>

Everything seems fine at first, but type names like aiMesh and aiScene are unknown. I'm compiling with the flag -lassimp as well. Any idea on why these type names are unknown? Here's what my error looks like:

unknown type name ‘aiMesh’
static struct Mesh processMesh(aiMesh *mesh, const aiScene *scene) {

Any ideas on how to fix this?

You need to inlcude the mesh.h nHeader as well:

#include <assimp/mesh.h>

Hope that helps!
