Do a text search for "error" in the compile log to find error messages.
There's several errors you should deal with in CSG.

It tells me that it cant find the VHLT .wad file even thought i use SDHLT

That's not the only WAD it couldn't find.
The compile tool used shouldn't matter, what matters is your editor's configuration has been set to use hlof.wad, hlbshift.wad and zhlt.wad, all under the ambiguous directory "/Program Files/" (it's ambiguous because the directory doesn't specify the drive, and both game and compile tools are on different drives).

If these WADs aren't used or don't exist, you can remove them from the game configuration and compile again.

If they do exist, you can try either placing them on the same drive as the compile tools (or vice versa), or edit the MAP file's "wad" property and add in the drive letter for each WAD path.

Thanks for the explination! Now i fixed the problem and now my maps compile and they run in the game

The problem was that the SDHLT .wad folder needed to be in the half-life/valve folder
