This article is about choosing a C++ code compiler. For a list of subjects which use the word "compiler", see Compiler.
You have several choices for compiling unedited variants of the Source SDK depending on which version you are using.
Visual Studio
This article or section is about an external tool that is not directly related to Valve's engines. It is not an exhaustive source of information and may only exist on this wiki for reference purposes.
Please see
Visual Studio for more information on the tool itself.
Please see
Visual Studio for more information on the tool itself.This article is about the IDE recommended for use with the Source engine's C++ code. For the rich text editor commonly used with scripts, see Visual Studio Code.
Visual Studio is an Integrated development environment (IDE) developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is the default IDE recommended for use with the Source SDK on Windows. In 
Source 2013, the default version of Visual Studio used for Source engine development is Visual Studio 2013 (Visual Studio 2022 for 
Team Fortress 2 branch). Older versions of Visual Studio are not compatible with Source 2013, and newer versions of Visual Studio will not work with Source 2013 by default.
Please see Installing Visual Studio 2013 (for 
) or Installing Visual Studio 2022 (for ) for more information on how to install Visual Studio, as well as how newer versions of Visual Studio can be used.
Availability
Different versions of Visual Studio are supported between different versions of the Source SDK.
| Version | Engine branch | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Studio 2002 |  Source 2006 and earlier
|
See Compiling under VS2002. |
| Visual Studio 2003 | See Compiling under VS2003. | |
| Visual Studio 2005 | Alien Swarm Authoring Tools,  Source 2007 and earlier
|
See Compiling under VS2005. |
| Visual Studio 2008 | See Compiling under VS2008. | |
| Visual Studio 2010 | Alien Swarm Authoring Tools, Source 2007 and earlier Source 2013 Singleplayer Source 2013 Multiplayer (pre-2025)
|
, and earlier: See Compiling under VS2010. Source 2013: Add /2010 to your VPC command line |
| Visual Studio 2012 | , and earlier: See Compiling under VS2012. Source 2013: Supported | |
| Visual Studio 2013 | Source 2013 Singleplayer Source 2013 Multiplayer (pre-2025)
|
Default for Singleplayer only, aswell as pre-2025 Multiplayer. |
| Visual Studio 2015 | See Compiling under VS2022. | |
| Visual Studio 2017 | ||
| Visual Studio 2019 | ||
| Visual Studio 2022 | Source 2013 Singleplayer Team Fortress 2 branch
|
Team Fortress 2 branch: Default. See Setting up Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer. Source 2013 Singleplayer: See Compiling under VS2022. |
GCC
This article or section is about an external tool that is not directly related to Valve's engines. It is not an exhaustive source of information and may only exist on this wiki for reference purposes.
Please see GNU Compiler Collection for more information on the tool itself.
Please see
GNU Compiler Collection for more information on the tool itself.The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a collection of code compilers maintained by the GNU Project. G++ in particular is the default compiler recommended for use with the Source SDK on Linux.
Availability
Note: Alien Swarm - SDK does not support GCC. If you want your Alien Swarm mod to run on Linux, you will need to use Proton.Todo: What about the Team Fortress 2 branch?
Team Fortress 2 branch?| Version | Engine branch | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| GCC 4.2.x or lower | Source 2007 and earlier
|
See Compiling under Linux. |
| GCC 4.6-4.8 | Source 2013 Team Fortress 2 branch[confirm]
|
See Source SDK 2013 on Linux ("container" method). |
| GCC 5 or higher | See Source SDK 2013 on Linux ("container" method) and optional step for changing the toolchain. |
