Compass config.rb Location

Question

I want to add Compass to my existing project. I want to maintain my current project structure, which looks like this (simplified):

app/
build/    
 |-compass/
assets/
 |-css/
   |-scss
 |-js/
 |-img/

So I want all my SASS files under \assets\css\scss and I want to output the compiled CSS files to \assets\css.

Running:

compass create --bare --sass-dir "assets\css\scss" --css-dir "assets\css"

creates the Compass config.rb file directly under my root.

However, I want the file to be under \build\compass.

1. How can I control where Compass creates the config.rb file?
2. Compass documentation says that declarations in config.rb (e.g. css_dir, sass_dir, etc.) are all relative to the project_path. Where do I define the project_path?

Answer 1

Compass creates the config.rb in the same directory as where you ran the command from. The project path is where the config.rb resides. You're free to place config.rb wherever you like, as long as you adjust the paths for your assets.
