Can't get my SDK working

[naminator2003]

Hi people!

I am a noob SDK user an I have a big problem with HL2, Source SDK, Steam & Co. I have a HL2 DVD, HL2 ripped version and sourcesdk.gcf ... how can I get it working... Where do I have to extract the files within sourcesdk.gcf to make hammer, hlmv etc. work ?
If I extract the bin content of the folder within sourcesdk.gcf to Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\User\Half-Life 2\bin it says error: "The procedure entry point Q_MakeAbsolutePath could not be located in the dynamic link library vtsdlib.dll"
Is there a way to get SDK working without using steam?
Thank you for reading this and please help...!

I've read somewhere on the net that SDK can't even be downloaded without registering HL2... I haven't registered HL2 because I have the oringinal DVD but not a CD-key. Is there a way to "give" a *.gcf file to steam so it can create the application? It might sound foolish but I don' have enough money to buy the original HL2. I was thinking about compiling maps with this SDK and testing them in the ripped HL2..... Could this be possible? (Hammer may only be run from steam, as far as I heard)

Thanks for reading this....!

Yeah, you're not going to get much* help here if you don't own a legit copy of the game.
