How to make Django Compressor work with LessCSS on Windows

I'd like to know how I can make Django Compressor work with LessCSS on Windows.

lessc is installed 

C:\>lessc
    dotless Compiler 1.1.0.7
    Compiles .less files to css files.

Django Pipeline Settings

COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = ( ('text/less', 'lessc {infile} {outfile}'), )

If you use the ruby version of less (and not the nodejs version), then you should use:

COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
    ('text/less', 'lessc {infile}'),
)

and not

COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
    ('text/less', 'lessc {infile} {outfile}'),
)

Try this:

COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
    ('text/less', 'lessc {infile} {outfile}'),
)

And this in your template:

{% load compress %}

{% compress css %}
<link type="text/less" rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/styles.less" charset="utf-8">
{% endcompress %}
