Description

What I say? In Windows impossible to build Less. No any possible. :(

All logs:

Research direction

Start by reproducing npm install and grunt build on Windows 10 with the Node.js and npm versions shown. Inspect the build configuration and jit-grunt setup after confirming whether the fsevents platform warning is the cause; done means the project installs and grunt build completes successfully on Windows.
