[1.7.10] Can't compile MinecraftForge from source with gradle?

[CraftBukkit]

I cloned https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/tree/1.7.10 and checked out in the 1.7.10 branch.

I then followed what it said here https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/wiki/If-you-want-to-contribute-to-Forge.

I made some changes to the MinecraftForge/eclipse/Forge project.

Then I ran "gradle build" in MinecraftForge/, but it failed.

 

hyperplay@HyperPlay-PC:~/Desktop/MinecraftForge$ gradle build

How can I solve this?

I just tried it on my system and it did build without a hitch ( clone, change to 1.7.10 branch, then gradlew setupForge, and finally gradlew build) . Did you by chance miss the step gradlew setupForge? I would try just checking out a new copy in another folder and seeing if you can get it to build without changes.

I just tried

./gradlew build

instead of

gradle build

and it worked. What do I now do to actually run it? I tried using the installer it produced but it just creates a profile with a .json which redownloads the .jar from Forge.
