Hello Everyone, I'm trying to use LESS or SASS in ST2 and after I installed say SASS via Sublime Package Control and I see it in my Tools->Build System, and it works ok e.g. [Finished in 0.2s] - Where is the output file? I assume it should give me a CSS file correct?
This might sound stupid but it gives me a hard time since yesterday and I could appreciate your help :)
Not 100% sure, but I think those packages are just for the syntax, so that you can write SASS (it will highlight as CSS, and give you some auto-complete options) not to compile SASS. For that you need to install something like Compass. I used SCOUT (http://mhs.github.com/scout-app/) because I couldn't start with the command line stuff, works like a charm.
I have Scout installed for SASS and SimpLESS installed for LESS. As far as I am aware, external compilers are necessary. It isn't a big burden, since they "watch" the files for changes, so compiling a project automagically is as simple as starting the software when you open the project. You get used to it.
I know you said you don't really want to use a 3rd party tool, but Codekit is possibly the best app I've ever bought. It compiles all my SASS and compresses for me, minifies JS and also minifies images too. Plus it handles live reloading so changes to CSS happen in the browser. So worth it.

Thank you in advance,

Can anyone confirm this? Do I really have to use a 3rd party compiler?
It wold be so cool to have one tool for everything.
Sublime Text is amazing - it must be possible...or not?
