What does python --version output? Since you're on Debian that would default to Python 2.x, while pip indicates that it's installing AMBuild for Python 3.7.

It sounds like you want to run python3 instead.

worked thanks :*

Code:

python3 ../configure.py

Any ideea why mmsource-1.12 doesn't build the same way ?

Code:

crywolfy@dark-node2:~/ssd2/hl2sdk/mmsource-1.12/build$ ambuild

/home/crywolfy/ssd2/hl2sdk/mmsource-1.12/core/metamod_plugins.cpp:30:10: fatal error: 'amtl/am-string.h' file not found
#include <amtl/am-string.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AMTL appears to be missing from the MM:S checkout.
It looks like you'll need to git submodule init and git submodule update. MM:S has submodules but it doesn't look like the checkout-deps scripts download them as part of the clone.

Thank you, dont understand why such information is missing from build page information.
