Trying to set up LESS for CSS on my Windows box, I’ve installed ruby

  • 0

Trying to set up LESS for CSS on my Windows box, I’ve installed ruby and rubygems and followed the instructions exactly.

I have put teststyle.less in C:\.
When I type

lessc teststyle.less

to compile it into a .css file, I get an error:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Out of those familiar with LESS, do any of you have a solution to my problem?
Did I mess up the install?

    I think I found the problem. In my first installation I installed to C:\Program Files\Ruby
    so I uninstalled and tried the default ‘C:\Ruby’ install path. Seems to fix the problem and it now works correctly. Thanks.
