NAME

       Rant - Flexible, Ruby based make

SYNOPSIS

       The  rant-import  command creates a monolithic rant script tailored to the needs of your project and thus removes the dependency on an Rant
       installation (but of course one person needs an Rant installation to run rant-import).

       Run the command with the --help option to get a brief help message:

	   % rant-import --help

       Probably the easiest way to create your monolithic rant script is with the --auto option:

	   % rant-import --auto ant

       This will write a monolithic rant script to the file ant in the current directory. To determine which plugins and imports your  project	is
       using,  it  performs step 2 of the rant command as described in doc/rant.rdoc, which means that it loads the Rantfile in the current direc-
       tory.

       That one command should be enough:

	   % ruby ant

       This script has the same behaviour as the rant command. Distribute it with your project and nobody else but you needs an Rant installation.
