doxygen: riot.css modified by 'make doc'

[kaspar030]

Calling make doc modifies riot.css in-place, making it show up in git's changed files list.
That's a little annoying. Can that be avoided?

Can that be avoided?

I had the same problem and I fixed it by uninstalling lessc from npm and install python-lesscpy via apt-get instead.

Can that be avoided?

An alternative would be to switch over from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4, which uses SASS instead of LESS (which does the compilation live in-browser). Would need some time however.

See #10249 for a fix to this issue.

Is this still an issue ?

[miri64]

We did not change how the riot.css is generated, so I'd say, yes. Unless people don't see this as an issue anymore :-D.

I also had this problem in the past but now it doesn't show up anymore. That's why I'm asking.

[miri64]

Do you still have LESS compiler installed? Does it incidentally generate the same CSS as the one at hand?

Do you still have LESS compiler installed?

Ah, that might be that: I don't have LESS compiler :)
