Can't find directx library

I recently installed windows 8 and installed directx sdk jun 2010 on it. However when I try to start a program on it gives me an error:

Error: "couldnt find d3dx9.lib" or "couldnt find d3dx11.h"

This error was in directx own sample projects also. I found an article on the internet that said these kind of libraries(every thing with x in it :d) are not supported any more. I commented all code that needed these libraries, it worked and my program ran.

Question:

What is it and how should I work with it? Are all these libraries are not supported? I found vs 2012 added a new framework: direct 3d app and direct 2d app. I made a project in it but I hardly could understand the code and how it works. Is it a new way of working with directx or is the best to make an empty project?

You will need to include the libraries you need into your projects settings.

Right click the project -> Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependence -> Add the libraries your compiler is asking for
