Hi,

 

I am trying to recompile Minecraft using MCP. I’m using MCP version 7.23 and Forge 6.4.445 revision 2 for MC 1.4.5.

 

I get the following errors “!! Can not find client/server sources, try decompiling !!” when attempting to recompile, but I already have.

 

With the new file structure introduced in introduced in one of the more recent versions when I run install.sh the recompile.sh no longer works.

 

I assume (and I’m sorry if this is wrong) that it is the new structure because it has never happened before and it’s my first time using it.

 

Just to note I’ve tried installing mcp multiple times once with forge setting it up and once doing it myself.

 

I’m sorry that I couldn’t include a crash log (FML/Forge log or Modloader.txt) but this is all that it’s printed out.

 

How can I successfully compile Minecraft using MCP?

 

Many thanks for any help,

 

 

Josh

I think our issues might be related, I also have experienced the same error you have.

Forge will automatically download MCP for you. Don't extract Forge into MCP.

@Ahorner

Mine happened at recompile because of it not seeing sources.

Yes, but I also get the same error when trying to recompile. I can start my client fine from Eclipse.

I tried a clean install like you said letting forge get mcp with no custom code in and it still gave me the error.

 

Here is a pastebin of the install and attempted recompile http://pastebin.com/H7FUWKDS.

 

Here's the last few lines:

I don't use Eclipse, I use Intellij, and have never been able to compile from within it . I'm sorry I've never been able to compile this (or any thing on 1.4.5) so I have not seen any runtime errors.

Can you run the runclient.sh script inside your mcp folder of the fresh install of forge you just downloaded?

Yes (but its called startclient.sh) and I appear to have the same error as you. Does that command compile , I don't think it does, if not then we both still have the problem of testing and distributing our mods.

 

Heres the error:

Same as you I think.

Yes, it seems to be the same error.

Delete your entire mcp/forge folder, download ONLY forge, extract it and run install.bat. The eclipse workspace is in <forge folder>/mcp/eclipse.

Thanks for the response. That's what I did and I still got the the same error.

 

I don't use Eclipse, I use Intellij with the src directory.

Download ONLY forge, extract it and then run install.bat, mcp will be in <forge folder>/mcp.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I never made a mod for forge before (did for make some for bukkit though), so plaese tell me if I do something wrong.

 

So here is what I did:

1: Downloaded forge (version 6.5.0.471, current recommended build)

2: Unzipped the file.

3: opened a new terminal in the /forge directory.

4: chmod +x ./install.sh

5: runned ./install.sh (result: pastebin)

6: cd ./mcp

7: runned ./recompile.sh (result: pastebin)

 

I'm running linux (Ubuntu 12.10) with OpenJDK (1.7.0_09)

Your output has no errors in it.

 

As of 1.3.2 there are no separate server sources so that warning message during recompile, you can just ignore.
