How to run Buildr directly from its build directory without having to install it in the system?

[Timo Rantalaiho]

Hello, all,

How can I run buildr from the build done under the checkout
directory?

I'm making some changes to Buildr source code and to  see them
in action, I'm running "rake install" and then running buildr
normally. But this is really slow and replaces buildr installed
on my machine with the development version :)

There must be a better way, please help a ruby noob!

Cheers,
Timo

There's a _buildr script for this on the top-level directory of your
checkout.

[Alexis Midon]

here is the bash script I use to do that:

/usr/bin/ruby -I/home/alexis/w/buildr.git/lib \
      -I/home/alexis/w/buildr.git/addon \
      /home/alexis/w/buildr.git/bin/buildr $@

Additionally, the _buildr script on the repo loads the buildr.gemspec to
ensure the correct gem versions
are used for buildr's dependencies.

Yep, I used Alexis' approach before and I moved to using _buildr since it
works better.
