twitter bootstrap make from source

Question

So I am trying to \"build\" twitter bootstrap from source git://github.com/twitter/bootstrap.git and I git clone it to my local machine.

Obviously, on my local machi

Answer 1

I have gnuwin32 installed and on my path, and I've npm install-ed uglifyjs, recess, and jshint. I then made the following additions to the top of the Makefile:

SHELL=c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe
MKDIR=mkdir.exe -p
UGLIFYJS=uglifyjs
RECESS=recess
JSHINT=jshint

The first line (SHELL=) fixes this problem:

w:\github\bootstrap>make bootstrap
mkdir.exe -p bootstrap/js
make: Interrupt/Exception caught (code = 0xc00000fd, addr = 0x4227d3)

the second line (MKDIR=) is to prevent the dos mkdir command being used (which doesn't understand the -p flag).

Then a global search/replace on all the executable references:

-       mkdir -p bootstrap/js
+       $(MKDIR) bootstrap/js
        cat js/bootstrap-transition.js js..
-       ./node_modules/.bin/uglifyjs -nc...
+       $(UGLIFYJS) -nc bootstrap/js/boot..
etc.

Now make bootstrap finishes without any problems.
