Create a source folder with a build.psd1 file and your module manifest in it
In the build.psd1 specify the relative Path to your module's manifest, e.g. @{ Path = "ModuleBuilder.psd1" }
But if do that, and then run Build-Module in the root, the build.psd1 is being ignored (the module builds, but without any of the settings I put in the build.psd1).
For it to work as expected, I have to either put the build.psd1 in the folder where I will run Build-Module or pass the path to the folder where I put the build.psd1 (i.e. Build-Module source)
On the other hand, I think it's reasonable to expect that it would work the way the docs say: put the build.psd1 next to the Module.psd1 -- if it can find the Module.psd1, it should find the build.psd1 as well!
