How to compile from source

[4levels]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile this plugin from source, but I'm failing miserably. There also seems no info on how to do this.

Things I've tried:

• nix-shell -p gcc gnumake
  • bundle install - fails with incompatible bundle version error
• update vagrant-nixos-plugin.gemspec to loosen the bundler version (> 1.5 instead of ~> 1.5) to make it compile

• /path/to/local/vagrant plugin install /path/to/local/vagrant-nixos-plugin fails with

  
  Vagrant failed to properly resolve required dependencies. These
  errors can commonly be caused by misconfigured plugin installations
  or transient network issues. The reported error is:
  
  Unable to resolve dependency: user requested '/path/to/local/lib/vagrant-nixos-plugin (> 0)'```

Background: there's currently a breaking issue with Vagrant and the way it composes the network configuration. I've created a PR to the Vagrant repo as the fix is really simple, but Vagrant warns explicitely that if compiled from source, all plugins need to be compiled from source as well.

Ok, I've managed to sort this out myself after leaving it for a few days and finding the missing piece of info. All I needed to do was run bundle exec rake build to end up with a packaged .gem file (in pkg/) that I was then able to import via vagrant plugin install /path/to/local/vagrant-nixos-plugin/pkg/vagrant-nixos-plugin-0.2.2.gem As I had much trouble finding this last step (pbbly obvious for an experienced ruby developer) I'd still like to see this mentioned somewhere here in the docs as well ;-)
