I have been using forge for a while now, and generally the updates to new versions work fine.
But, for some reason, when I downloaded the latest version of forge for 1.5 (at this point version 7.7.0.575), it would not install correctly. I chmod 755'ed the install.sh file, cd'ed to the forge directory, and ran the install.sh file. All seemed well. It downloaded the latest version of mcp and, at least I think, the latest version of minecraft. It made it until it was doing the final recompiling. It found 1 error:
'"javac" -encoding UTF-8 -Xlint:-options -deprecation -g -source 1.6 -target 1.6 -classpath "lib:lib/...' failed : 1
== ERRORS FOUND ==
src/minecraft/net/minecraft/client/renderer/RenderBlocks.java:3857: missing return statement
}
^
1 error
==================
then it said this (long!)
It seemed to have decompiled most of the minecraft files, though some were missing. Also, it doesn't have any of the forge files. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Still doesn't work in 7.7.0.580. Any help?
