How are you trying to build it?

You need java 17 for the 1.19.4 branch (see here for 1.12.2 to 1.21.4)

How are you trying to build it?

With gradlew

I'm a bit concerned about it wanting to create a file in /root then. You are not building as root, are you?

Besides that: Which java version are you using?

Yes I am building as root. But I am using a sandbox environment.

My java version is:
openjdk 21.0.6

Wow, thank you so much, I changed my java version and it worked. However I also redownloaded the code and it appears that the version I had didn't download properly or I didn't extract it properly, so that could be another reason.

Also you have been very helpful. Normally devs would say "that's a dumb question" and I was a bit worried to ask this question but you really helped and I'm genuinely thankful.
