if you are using responsive you compile both the boostrap.less (uses the other sheets not responsive one) and the responsive.less (media q's in here it use variables mixins too from memory) sheet
not in front of the code right now so the responsive name might be slightly different (it will have media queries) but otherwise its just the bootstrap.less in sources the other less sheets you can check your output again the twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/can look at the css in the files there from this you should be able to see whats working. thats assuming the error you get is due to compiling indivual sheets and not because the method of compiling is not working completely if you goto lesscss.org you can get a simple sample of less t compile proove that less is working for the method your using. node/npm though taxing to setup is the best method (for me lessphp is on par, I have php 5.3.3 on windows and ubuntu 5.3.10 forget actually I could not find a requirement listing sure I used it fine with 5.2.x but a later version) simpLess as yet not tried but will be - have seen reports of issues from others (so can't be specific on use of this nor be certain of it being problem free) - see https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/630 closed and reopenned what method are you using to compile? what error are you getting? - S On 11 February 2012 05:43, Anand Anjaria <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sam, > > Thanks for your input.
