Question

I’ve just cloned bootstrap from the official github repository.
When trying to compile the less files using the official less app however, I get the following errors:

…in a number of files. I have in my index.html file:

<link href="../less/bootstrap.less" rel="stylesheet/less">
<script src="../js/less-1.3.0.min.js"></script>

With both scripts in the correct locations. The directory tree is as follows

-- bootstrap
  -- js
  -- html
  -- less
  -- img
  -- docs

Is there something I am missing to deploy this correctly? I only want to do static html and javascript files for a quick prototype project.

Update: here is the problem i get on the command line trying to build via the make method. Using the latest less.js script from the official website.

Answer 1

It appears that this app just doesn’t support all the features of the Less language.

Check the official Node.js way for server-side compiling.
