I'm sorry if I'm miles off base here, but I don't have the HL2 SDK to play with yet (5 more days until I get an internet connection and can decrypt the game :))))))).
The CodeBlocks IDE is a wonderful new, free, SourceForge project (http://codeblocks.sourceforge.net) which integrates with a variety of different compilers seamlessly and transparently. One of the built-in compiler sets is the Microsoft Visual C++.NET 2003 (I believe, could be a different year) toolkit (available for free from MSDN, it's all the command-line tools for compiling that are used by the actual VC++ IDE). CodeBlocks also can import VC++ projects and solutions (I don't know how well it interprets compiling flags, though). Anyways, the point is that in theory you should be able to import and compile HL2 in CodeBlocks, but I stress again that's it's theory only. I'd appreciate if someone could spend 30 minutes testing this for me, as I'm keen to find out the answer.
