How to compile the source?

[Cancerium]

How do I compile the MCA Reborn source without errors? Are there required stuff to install before gradlew build? I readed from wiki to everywhere but cant find requirements or something.

WHAT DID I TRY TO SOLVE IT??? STEP BY STEP:
I use jdk-17.0.3 JAVA_HOME (also tried 18 and 20 versions, only 17.0.3 works)
I installed git-scm (because the first error was about git commands and after research I found out I had to download git scm to fix that error)
Added 'cmd', before all 'git' commands in build.gradle (because there was another weird error and after research I found doing that will fix it and it did)

After all that, I got this error:

Error's cause is common/build.gradle line 8

I tried replacing line 8 with common(['forge']) and even deleting whole line 8. after doing either, it will successfully %100 configure the project, however when you type gradlew build after a while it will pass to different error about depencies: 💀

Do I need eclipse or a specific java jdk version? How do you guys ever compile it although all these errors?
Any help is appreciated

git clone https://github.com/Luke100000/minecraft-comes-alive
cd minecraft-comes-alive
./gradlew build

Works out of the box for me and the only dependencies I am aware of are JDK 17 and git, as you just installed. You can use an IDE but they are not doing anything special either.

I'll test that again in a VM to check if it is a Windows issue.

./gradlew build

LOL this method finally worked
thank you so much

so from all my experience:

• project should be downloaded by git clone method. downloading manually from github and extracting zip will somehow result error because of your git addons
• gradlew.bat should not be used! it's broken and resulting error even in git clone. ./gradlew build is only working build method like you described
