That went apparently well, but the step

python3 ./waf install --prefix /home/werner/Games/HL2 was unsuccessful:

Apparently, that went well:

Code: 
...
111 warnings generated.

[2227/2228] Linking build/utils/vtex/libvtex_dll.so

Waf: Leaving directory `/usr/home/werner/src/source-engine/build'
'install' finished successfully (24m23.588s)

But 4. Go to ~/Games/HL2 and start game: ./hl2_launcher -game BMS does not work, there is no other content than the folder BMS in that directory. The hl2_launcher file is located in src/source-engine/build/launcher_main. When I change into that directory and try to execute it, I get:

Code: 
$ cd src/source-engine/build/launcher_main/
$ ./hl2_launcher -game BMS

Show what all BMS subdirs contain?

I attach a du -h of the BMS directory. Hope that's what you need.

I don't see needed files:
/home/werner/Games/HL2/BMS/hl2_launcher
/home/werner/Games/HL2/BMS/dedicated_launcher
/home/werner/Games/HL2/BMS/bin/libclient.so
/home/werner/Games/HL2/BMS/bin/libserver.so

But if I do not understand wrong from your instructions, the hl2_launcher file should be located in /home/werner/Games/HL2?

No, your root game dir is ~/Games/BMS

If you installed game engine in ~/Games/HL2 move all files and dirs from this dir to ~/Games/BMS
Then go to ~/Games/BMS and try to start game: ./hl2_launcher -game BMS

Of course not. The BMS directory comes from a wine installation of the windows version as I said in the beginning. You told me to create the directory Games/HL2 in my home directory and the copy the BMS directory into it.

Did I? What I did is (as root / comment #77) python3 ./waf install --prefix /home/werner/Games/HL2 in the /home/werner/src/source-engine directory. I think this did not modify the contents of /home/werner/Games/Hl2/BMS in any way. A search of e.g. libclient.so gives me the following:

So I think everything after executing python3 ./waf install --prefix /home/werner/Games/HL2 is located in /home/werner/src/source-engine
 
Yes Half Life 1 its running but i cant save and the intro stuck
after a minute showing a crane had to load the map manually.
Maybe Valve put a copy protection in it?
Is it possible the switch hl -fullscreen cause the problem?
