Build instructions

[agowa]

Hi, could you please add build instructions to this repository? Especially what versions of the dependencies and gradle you used.
When I try to compile this on Arch Linux it fails with an Gradle incompatibility error.

Edit: It appears the above was because the gradle build script doesn't itself initialize missing git submodules. After running git submodule update --init --remote --recursive it is now failing with this:

Edit2: The gradle build appears to try to do something within /mnt/GIMP/UserLAndLibrary/remote-desktop-clients/remoteClientLib/jni/libs/deps/FreeRDP/client but the folder "deps" and everything within it doesn't exist.

Edit3: Also it looks like one dependency has vanished (or was never released publicly?), when I try to execute the build-deps.sh file within the parent directory of that missing deps folder it tries to download https://github.com/freedesktop/spice-usbredir/archive/usbredir-0.8.0.tar.gz, however that github page lists 0.7 as the last version. And trying to download it using that URL also only returns a 404 Not Found. (I suppose this needs to be updated to point towards the actual source and not the unofficial mirror? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/usbredir)?

Edit4: Using the integrated gradlew also doesn't work:
