Hello there guys, I need some help from you.
Just before we begin, I will state that I have downloaded the newest MetaMod(1.20), and newest HLSDK, and I have my environment variables set, so that will be no problem.

I am trying to compile amxmodx 1.8.2 (I've just downloaded it from hg.alliedmods.net), but Visual Studio 2010 gives me an error. It says that "progdefs.h" is missing for every single file. I know that it is because "extdll.h" is included in "amxmodx.h". Error message goes as follows:

D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\extdll.h(79): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'progdefs.h': No such file or directory

Now, I think I see the problem. The problem is, as you can see in upper message(the file path of "extdll.h"), that "extdll.h" already exists in VS default includes directory, but it also exists in HLSDK.
Now, in VS, if I hover over the filename, it will show that it is a file from VS default includes directory, but VS actually opens the HLSDK one... Confusing, isn't it? Here is a picture showing it:


If you know what the problem is, and how I can make an workaround, please tell me.
BTW, I am using Windows XP Professional.

Best way to build is to use AMBuild: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Building_AMX_Mod_X

Why not use AMBuild to compile it?

Using VS works too. Just use the proper HLSDK/Metamod : https://github.com/alliedmodders ; and don't forget to add/update $(METAMOD) and $(HLDSK) windows variables.

Oooh, I feel dumb now. I misspelled HLSDK environment variable. ._.'
However, I get bunch of other errors now, and they mostly look like:

d:\games\plugins\sdks\metamod-hl1-master\metamod\sdk_util.h(79): error C2664: 'void (int,char *,char *,char *)' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'const char *' to 'char *'

So, outdated SDK or what?

And these were some quick responses! Thanks!

If you are using the HLDSK and Metamod from Github repos, you can't have this error.

Yep, I figured that out already. Downloaded one from github and it works now.
There was just one error left, saying:

..\version.rc(8): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'winres.h'.

but i fixed it by changing winres.h with winresrc.h, which I found in github's version.rc.
Thank you for your responses.
