Installing from source not working?

I'm following the instructions on
http://buildr.apache.org/contributing.html for
trying to install from source, i.e. "rake setup install", after checking
the code out from the apache git repo. It seems rake is unable to find
either task (setup, install). I'm looking at the Rakefile and can't find it
either.

I realize there are easier ways to install buildr, but I'm trying add
support for building Kawa (a JVM based scheme) programs, and would prefer
to do this using a base that at least works...

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or what needs to be done to be able to
build/install buildr from a local source tree?

FWIW, I'm on Ubuntu Linux 13.04.

Thanks,

Marius K.

That works perfectly, thanks! The only thing holding back Kawa support now
is my incompetence..

Thanks,

Hi Marius,

Those instructions are obsolete ... sorry we haven't updated the page
recently.

I would advice doing:

% bundle install   # installs all the dependencies
% rake gem         # create .gem from source
% gem install pkg/buildr-1.4.13.dev.gem  # or whichever other version (e.g.
java, mswin32)

Let me know if you need any other help!
