How can I use the path from gulp.src() in gulp.dest()?

in your src set the base option and it will maintain the original path of your less file.

gulp.task('compileLess', function () {
  gulp.src('./*/less/*.less', {base: './'})
    .pipe(less())
    .pipe(gulp.dest( './dist' ));
});

The ./dist destination can be anything. Wherever you want your file structure to be placed.
