I've started to make a Half-life 2 mod. But being that I don't have the recommended compiler tools, I needed to try and put together some sdk packages and whatnot. I, so far, have not done any modification to the Half-life 2 SDK. I'm trying to compile it without changing anything just to make sure I have all the compile options working. It keeps failing and I don't know why. I'm not sure where to turn and I've exhausted my brain in trying to find the solution on the net. I've gotten the following: Codeblocks, MS Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 .NET 2003 1.1 SDK MS Platform SDK Direct X 9 SDK and the Source SDK (half-life2) I've done the past 2 years of coding in PHP and I haven't worked within a compiler environment for a while. Learning how to compile is not so much a problem. I learnt that quickly before. What I'm really new to is using SDK's and libraries. If anyone can offer some help, that would be great.

How many errors do you get and what do they say? Post some of them here if you can.

Here they are:
