uncomment #define SMEXT_CONF_METAMOD in smsdk_config.h in the sample extension template

what now?

You'll need to download the metamod source and set its include directories. There should be information here on how to set the MMSOURCE19 environment variable or set the directories manually.

I recommend you use AMBuild to build your extension as SM uses it. Look at how SM's is setup and adapt for your extension.

Or if you're a sane person and don't want to needlessly tie your extension to the engine SDK just to print to console, enable SMEXT_ENABLE_ROOTCONSOLEMENU in smsdk_config.h and use rootconsole->ConsolePrint().
