This error message is telling you what's wrong:
The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin. Apply Gradle plugin
You need an apply plugin statement in your build file to tell Gradle how to build the module. If this module is an Android Application module that will output an APK, use:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
If it's a library module that will output an AAR, use:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
The deeper meaning of the error message is that in this context Gradle doesn't have a definition for the compile dependency directive (i.e it's not built in to Gradle). It needs the Android Gradle plugin to set that up.
