Trouble building gradle on linux - error

[gree303]

I've tried all kind of configs.
Maybe one of you guys/girls do know the solution to my issue.

root build.gradle
`apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 10
buildToolsVersion '30.0.2'

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.obsidium.bettermanual"
    minSdkVersion 10
    targetSdkVersion 10
    versionCode 7
    versionName "1.5"
    archivesBaseName = "BetterManual-${versionName}"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
}

}

repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}

dependencies {
compileOnly 'com.github.ma1co.OpenMemories-Framework:stubs:-SNAPSHOT'
implementation 'com.github.ma1co.OpenMemories-Framework:framework:-SNAPSHOT'
}
`

app/build.gradle (none of the commented worked out)
`buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
//google()
//gradlePluginPortal()
}
dependencies {
//classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
//classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2"

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

}

allprojects {
repositories {
//gradlePluginPortal()
//jcenter()
//google()
mavenCentral()
//mavenCentral { url 'https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/jcenter' }
//maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
//maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
jcenter { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" }
}
}`

Any help is very much welcome.
Thanks all

Update: I managed to setup Android SDK and the project. But now I ran into dependency issues. I've tried several sources. All result in the same error - missing repo/dependencies.

I just wanted to change two digits within the source code to see if the overall system doesn't block/limit the values.
File: ManualActivity.java
Line: ~ 1403
changing the following lines...

//            m_bracketPicCount = 3;
//            m_bracketStep = 3;

... to ....

	      m_bracketPicCount = 9;
              m_bracketStep = 3;

In case anybody has this running could you send me the .apk?
This way I can test this...

Thanks.

@obs1dium do you suggest any update to build.gradle config file(s) ? Not sure if I miss some important step or if it's just outdated in terms of dependencies? Any help is very much very welcome - thanks.

Sorry, it's been a while since I tried building this code. I've got a similar project that builds fine with Android Studio 2021.1.1, gradle 4.1.2 and SDK 25.
