I'm using
lessc
with Qt/C++ and up until recently I've just been regenerating the stylesheets, but I thought that this could be faster.I dug around and found the
depends
flag and it sped up my build process 0 to 💯 real quick.The only downside is that when lessc is invoked twice, it will generate output twice. I actually only need the dependencies with no output, and then at a later stage during
make
, the actual output. I see here (#2476) that it's a nice to have feature, so here it is.The new option is
-Mn
for short or--depends-no-output
. It will exercise the same code path asdepends
but skip the output stage ifdepends_no_output
istrue
.
