Windows Development

The wiki mentions following instructions for installing from source :

git clone git://github.com/redcar/redcar.git
cd redcar
jruby -S bundle install

and readme has :

git clone git://github.com/redcar/redcar.git
cd redcar
rake init
ruby bin/redcar

Which is current/best method to install from source (for windows).

I think rake init does a bundle install so...the latter if that's the case.

This is what i ended up doing to get it to run : (using git bash shell)

git clone git://github.com/redcar/redcar.git

cd redcar

Change line 29 of rakefile  to  "vendor = File.join('./', "vendor")"

( the tar command in windows seems to have problems with the original path coming from REDCAR_ROOT )

rake init

copy redcar_win.bat from "assets" to root redcar directory.

run redcar_win.bat
