Posted January 31, 201411 yr EDIT: I've noticed I've posted it into the wrong forum. Can a moderator please move this to the support forum? Thanks. So I recently switched to Forge Gradle and must say I really dig the new system. The only thing I don't get is, how do you build a mod which depends on another mod? The thing is both mods will be build at the same time and have seperate source folders: /Forge /SAPManagerPack /java /resources /EnderStuffPlus /java /resources Here the mod EnderStuffPlus is dependent on the (core)mod SAPManagerPack. If I try to build only SAPManagerPack everything works fine, but if I try to compile EnderStuffPlus (alongside with SAPManagerPack), I get "cannot find symbol [insert class from SAPManangerPack here]" errors. Here's the settings.gradle within the Forge folder: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8eca6f78174e07e4fc37 This is the build.gradle file for SAPManagerPack: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/adae0cdb9839442142f0 and for EnderStuffPlus: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6ec1164eca5673525db8 Here's the build log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1b6541aa54be45aec1f1 It would be great if someone here could tell me what I should do in order to get it to work.

January 31, 201411 yr Author You need some sort of dependency in your build.gradle. Personally I use a maven repo on my webserver, but i am sure you can use a local one as well. Then in your coremod you let it produce 3 jar files, the obfuscated one (default), one with MCP mappings and a sources jar. Then you can just depend on the MCP mapped jar and be good to go. Here is an example how I do it: Coremod build.gradle: https://github.com/diesieben07/SevenCommons/blob/master/build.gradle Dependent mod build.gradle: https://github.com/diesieben07/CameraCraft3/blob/master/build.gradle Question: do I need a maven repo? What's it used for? I've never used maven before. Don't ask for support per PM!

January 31, 201411 yr Author No, you don't need a maven repo. You can depend on a local jar file like shown here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19231855/gradle-dependencies-local-jar-file Maven is cool because you can host your jars in a central place and can setup your workspace anywhere without having to worry about dependencies. Also: For example another mod depends on your "EnderStuffPlus" mod. If you use maven, that mod will automatically also depend on your coremod and gradle will download the coremod as well, because the dependency information for EnderStuffPlus is stored in the maven repo. Ah, thanks! I'll try the local jar stuff. The maven stuff sounds interesting, I'll look into that later. Don't ask for support per PM!

January 31, 201411 yr Author Sorry for DP, but it doesn't work. I still get the same errors. Here are my new build.gradle files: (SAPManagerPack) https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9da75f3c4c50ff69d70b (EnderStuffPlus) https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2b8717ff3bb1b42804a8 Don't ask for support per PM!

January 31, 201411 yr Author So you have the MCP mapped jar in the libs folder? Like this: [root] |__src |__main |__... ... |__libs |__MyDependency-mcp.jar |__build.gradle oh, I didn't know you have to do it like this, but yeah, it works now. One question though, is there a way to reference the mcp'ed jar directly from the build folder of the Manager Pack? like Forge |__SAPManagerPack |__build |__libs |__mcp.jar |__build.gradle |__EnderStuffPlus << this mod references the mcp.jar from above |__build.gradle |__... ... |__build.gradle |__settings.gradle |__... ...

January 31, 201411 yr Author Without a maven repo you will have to copy the jar file manually. It has to like this: Forge |__SAPManagerPack |__build |__libs |__SAPManagerpack-mcp.jar <-| |__build.gradle | |__EnderStuffPlus |-- Identical (copy by hand) |__libs | |__SAPManagerpack-mcp.jar <-| |__build |__libs |__enderStuffsPlus.jar <- This is something completely different! |__build.gradle |__... ... What is that third build.gradle you have outside the mod folders? What is it doing? P.S. (oldschool for Edit): I really hope you appreciate the time I spent with these ASCII-Arts jk Alright, I see. I will make a custom build bat then. Thanks for your help, appreciate it Don't ask for support per PM!
