Add external library files (lib)

[artdude543]

How does one now add lib files now?

As I can't seem to find the mcp/lib folder for compiling, could someone tell me what the procedure is now so that I can compile my mod without having dependence errors.

Thanks,

Depends on what kind of dependency. When a lib is on mavencentral (http://search.maven.org/) you should add it as

dependencies {
    compile 'group:name:version'
}

When it's an api of another mod, you should add the source of it to src/api/java

When both of those are not an option. You can add your own lib folder like this:

dependencies { 
    compile fileTree(dir: 'lib', includes: ['*.jar']) 
} 

See http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/dependency_management.html for more information

Hello,

Gradle does not support compile anymore... What should I do now?

Use compileOnly instead, as explained in the Gradle docs when compile was deprecated.
