Can only compile if on development branch

[quiltedstars]

I understand that obviously releases are delayed in order to make sure the necessary features are implemented and bugs are squashed, but considering that you cannot compile Audiveris on the main branch without running into errors about outdated parts (along with the fact to even see those errors you have to manually change the gradlew preferences to be up-to-date, I was wondering whether there should be a note or a mention somewhere on the main branch that trying to install with the main branch won't work? I know that there's mention on the branch and the wiki that you can switch to development branch, but I think it would be clearer and easier for people trying to compile to have it obvious that in order to get it working you should be on the development branch.

@quiltedstars Sorry for this late reply, I'm busy on other tasks not related at all to Audiveris.

If I understand correctly, you can compile the development branch but not the (default) master branch. Are you sure you have the correct development environment? (Java, Gradle) Could you post the error messages you get with master branch.

No news on this issue. Should we close it?

Here is what I just tried again:

$ git clone https://github.com/Audiveris/audiveris.git master
$ cd master

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

$ ./gradlew build

I'm also able to build the master locally (and even the Continuous Integration is able to build it on my fork of the project)
