# Nothing compiling

 * I’m attempting to drop this into a pre-existing theme and convert my styles to
   sass.
 * I followed the instructions and am not getting any errors, just no compiling.
   I’m thinking that it probably doesn’t know to generate the first .css file??
 * In my theme directory, I have an empty style.css (except for the commented head),
   a core.sass and an empty core.css
 * In functions.php I have:
    // SASS/SCSS Stylesheet Definition function generate_css(){
   if(function_exists(‘wpsass_define_stylesheet’)) { wpsass_define_stylesheet(“core.
   sass”, true); } } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘generate_css’ );
 * Your help is greatly appreciated, I would love to use sass again!
