Unable to compile Bootstrap 3.1

[bluetidepro]

Bootstrap 3.1.0 was released today: http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2014/01/30/bootstrap-3-1-0-released/

The current version of lessphp can't compile this because of "extend", here is the error"

lessphp fatal error: parse error: failed at "&:extend(.clearfix all);" bootstrap-less/mixins.less on line 648

This is related to issue #498 on supporting "Extend". It looks like this is a big issue now.

+1 Issue has been around for months now, see #498 and #520

ILess contains a lot of code with poor performance. it uses sprintf to concatenate two string all around, that's very ridiculous.

Though not well documented, there is a lessphp wrapper included with https://github.com/oyejorge/less.php named less.inc.php which makes less.php a drop-in replacement for lessphp (though a bit slower esp. with extends). It fit my needs with very little editing required except my needing to make some of my code more conformant to later versions of less.js (e.g., using variables with @import, etc...)

To everyone, I'm going to go ahead and close this issue because it's getting annoying with all the "+1"s. As mentioned plenty of times before, leafo is no longer supporting this repo.

If you want a good alternative, then I would reccomend using less.php by oyejorge. it's works great with Bootstrap 3.1 and is a very active repo.
