I just included bootstrap and font awesome into a project I'm working on using bower. Bower downloaded both repo's into a components folder in my project.
My project looks like this
/components
/bootstrap
/Font-Awesome
/style.less
My style.less file contains individual imports of all of bootstraps parts excluding sprites.less which shares classes with font awesome.
At the bottom of style.less I'm importing font awesome. Within that file at the top is a variable @FontAwesomePath which is a relative path to the font folder. This is invalid now that i've @imported the file.
I would like to not have to edit this variable within the repo, I wanna keep the rep clean and make all my changes in my files.
What I need would be the ability to override this variable from style.less like so.
