Ciao guys,

I would like to compile SourceMod myself, so I followed Building SourceMod wiki and everything was fine until the Configuring step.
I don't use MozillaBuild and in Requirements-3 I didn't find a vcvars.bat but vcvars32.bat (I hope that's OK).

This is my attempt to run configure script

PHP Code:

PS D:\alliedmodders\sourcemod\build> python ../configure.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../configure.py", line 36, in <module>
    run.Configure()
  File "D:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ambuild2\frontend\prep.py", line 121, in Configure
    if not builder.generate():
  File "D:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ambuild2\frontend\base\gen.py", line 274, in generate
    self.parseBuildScripts()
  File "D:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ambuild2\frontend\base\gen.py", line 183, in parseBuildScripts
    self.evalScript(root)
  File "D:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ambuild2\frontend\base\gen.py", line 243, in evalScript
    exec(code, new_vars)
  File "D:\alliedmodders\sourcemod\AMBuildScript", line 489, in <module>
    SM.detectSDKs()
  File "D:\alliedmodders\sourcemod\AMBuildScript", line 115, in detectSDKs
    raise Exception('Could not find a valid path for {0}'.format(sdk.envvar))
Exception: Could not find a valid path for HL2SDKDODS 


and this is my alliedmodders directory:

Can you help me out guys?

You only have the csgo SDK, but are trying to build for all games.

Add --sdks=csgo to your configure.py args.

Edit: alternatively, --sdks=present to build against all SDKs that are found (which would still be just csgo in this case).

[KissLick]

Now it gave me another error :-(

Couldn't that be because of that vcvars.bat ?

Yes. You need to run from a Visual Studio Command Prompt or run the vcvars32.bat to set up the environment.

[KissLick]

I tried to run vcvars32.bat from both Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 and PowerShell.
But I till have the same error with python ../configure.py --sdks=present :-(

What is the exact error when running from Developer Command Prompt for VS2013? (Running from that prompt has the correct environment with vcvars already run. You don't need to manually run it in there.)

[KissLick]

Oh! Thank you so much! :-D

I didn't know I have to compile (ambuild command) from Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 :-)

EDIT: Looks like ambuild works now from PowerShell too.

As a random but relevant question, what exactly is the advantage of compiling SM yourself versus using the pre-compiled snapshots on the main SM page? (If there is any.)

Maybe you could delete that "sm plugins" command with your re-compiled version

If you're not cool with transparency, sharing, and community, you're in the wrong place.
