Mac Installation Issues (Disclaimer: First Post!)

[bbqd]

I am trying to install Forge on my MacBook Pro so that I can start Minecraft Modding (obviously, why else would I be trying to install Forge?). However, when I enter "gradlew setupDecompWorkspace" into the terminal, it says that the task "gradlew" is not found (Full failure report below).

A) What does this mean? (Yeah, again, first time here! Still a newbie!)

B) How do I fix it?

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

 

* What went wrong:

Task 'gradlew' not found in root project 'forge-1.7.2-10.12.2.1121-src'.

 

* Try:

Run gradlew tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with                                              --info                                                                          or                                                                            --debug                                                                          option to get more log output.

Did you cd to the Forge directory? Are you typing ./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace, or just gradlew setupDecompWorkspace?

[Black]

No I'm pretty sure he typed this according to his log:

 

gradlew gradlew setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies

 

So gradlew was looking inside its folders for a task it could execute called gradlew which it obviously doesn't have since that's itself.

Type these 2 commands and see if it works:

 

./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

./gradlew eclipse

[bbqd]

Okay! So I put in "gradlew setupDecompWorkspace" at the folder containing "gradlew" instead of at "gradlew" itself. It said that the build was successful, but gave this warning:

I'm going to go on assuming that this is okay, but I'm not completely sure. Thanks for all the help!

 

EDIT: now when I try to use eclipse, it tells me that the "Minecraft" package is missing a .project file and refuses to load it.

[Eternaldoom]

After gradlew setupDecompWorkspace run gradlew eclipse. That generates the eclipse project files. That bootstrap class path warning is harmless, I get it all the time.

It works now! Thanks!
