After you can do option 1 from above.

Your pull request fixed this problem. Thanks, but now I have another problem:

I want to compile this project only for TF2. What I'm doing wrong again?
And I also have one question. Which SDK is needed to compile extension for TF2? SDK2013 or TF2 sdk?

add this to your command line for running "configure.py": --sdks tf2
By default, the AMBuildScript uses all the defined SDKs in itself.
It looks for them by:

Check if the option value for "--hl2sdk-root" is not None(Path to folder containing all the cloned SDK folders), if given, find respective SDK folder in given path.
Check if the respective environment variable(eg: HL2SDKTF2) is set(Path to respective SDK folder(eg: D:\SMDEV\hl2sdk-tf2)), if set, use it's value.
Otherwise look for respective SDK folder in a recursive ".." check.
If none of the above finds the respective SDK folder or path obtained isn't a directory, error out with message saying which SDK couldn't be located.

What is this again?

The error says what it means, the AMBuildScript couldn't locate a source copy of SourceMod, check your AMBuildScript to see what it expects to find for either Env variable or folder names(see my editted reply above).

Naydef

Ok, I set up the environment variables correctly to Sourcemod and Metamod:Source, but now the program can't find Visual C++ compiler. I have Visual Studio. Where I have to set the path to visual studion compiler?:

Is this a problem with ambuild?

asherkin

Run it from the Visual Studio x86 tools cmd prompt.

This seems to get more sophisticated than I expected, but I will try to run from the VS prompt as you suggest

Naydef

I opened the command prompt, but this again:

But I noticed the error on the top:

Maybe this is the problem?

I will reinstall Visual Studio tomorrow, to fix this complete mess with compiling sm exts!
