less css via ruby on win 7 - ver greater than 1.2.21?

Is there a way to get any of the 2.x versions working via Ruby on Windows?

I tested all the versions listed via gem list --r开发者_StackOverflow社区emote --all less

The problem is that I can only install the 1.2.21 version, which doesn't support the & less selector.

So i have to do

div {
    border: red;
}
div.blue {
    border: blue;
}

instead of

div {
     border: red;
     &.blue {
         border: blue;
     }
}

Which is quite annoying...

Any help greatly appreciated.

Found a way (well, two) and would like to share. Hope this helps someone and saves him tons of searching.

The one I'm going with is using node.js. Would use ruby only for this, so it's irelevant which one I'll use. It's perfectly described there: vertstudios.com/blog/less-app-windows-sorta and works like a charm.

After editing their less.js for a while to fit my dir structure it's brilliant. It supports everything, outputs minifed/compressed version and has a watch functionality.

Another way (which isn't as convenient) is using windows's csript. Described on Christopher Bennage's blog
