I thought that (minidx9) only applied to the release builds. I was under the impression that debug builds still required the DX SDK to be built and debugged in the compiler.

I just uninstalled the DX SDK and the debug build still compiled successfully and entered debugging mode with no issues.

I have removed that requirement now, thanks for the correction.

Updated guide to remove DX SDK prerequisite. PPSSPP compiling (for both Release and Debug builds) only requires MSVC 2013 and a form of git. Users can safely uninstall the SDK from their systems if they've got no other applications that require it to gain some HDD space.
