Introduction

Welcome to readme file of lesswatcher. lesswatcher is a directory watcher and less parser (with the help of dotless library) made specifically for Windows system. It is coded in C# with .NET 4 Framework.

Building

You can build lesswatcher by opening the solution file, then going Build > Build Solution from the menu.

Requirements:

To build lesswatcher you must have these:

• Visual Studio
• dotless library (Get the latest version)
• ILmerge (Install)

Building from Command Line

If you want to build lesswatcher from command line, you can use Build.bat helper tool. Important: Start Build.bat from Visual Studio Command Line, not the regular ones.

Notes (important)

• lesswatcher has a post-build event which will trigger ILmerge from PATH. So please make sure to add ILmerge to PATH variable. Otherwise you will get errors.
• dotless library is in incl directory, if you want to update it, just download the new version from the official site and replace it with the current library.
• ILmerge is actually optional but it is required for combining both the binary and the library into one executable file. You can remove the post-build event from the project settings but when you do this, you must move both files(exe and dll file) to desired directory everytime you need to move it.

Bug reports

Before making a bug report, please know the source of the problem. If it's library related problem, please report it to dotless developers.
