If you've followed the README, at what stage does it fail with what error message?

Which Microsoft VisualStudio did you install exactly?

The first error is usually the one to watch for:
Failed to run MSBuild command: C:/Program Files (x86)/MSBuild/14.0/bin/MSBuild.exe to get the value of VCTargetsPath

installed to see. 2015

[Pieter Hulshoff]

Does this file even exist?
C:/Program Files (x86)/MSBuild/14.0/bin/MSBuild.exe

[@lima]

yes exite !!

[Pieter Hulshoff]

Did you install the Windows SDK? That's the path it's trying to determine, and fails to do so as far as I can tell.

[@lima]

I installed the correct location now, but it continues to generate errors!

Those are warnings. Let's ignore them for now to see if the next step gives you any trouble. We can always revisit this step if it does.

hear progress only error now!

just commenting that part of the file (KeyboardHandler.cp)

#include "KeyboardHandler.h"

KeyboardHandler::KeyboardHandler(SDL_Scancode s)
: scancode_(s)
, pressed_(false)
{
}

void KeyboardHandler::reset()
{
    pressed_= false;
}

bool KeyboardHandler::update(SDL_Event &e)
{
    if(e.type != SDL_KEYUP && e.type != SDL_KEYDOWN) return false;

    if(e.key.keysym.scancode == scancode_)
    {
        pressed_ = (e.type == SDL_KEYDOWN);
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

bool KeyboardHandler::pressed()
{
    return pressed_;
}

void KeyboardHandler::updateKeystate()
{
   const Uint8 *state = SDL_GetKeyboardState(NULL);
//   pressed_ = state[scancode_];
}

managed to compile?
