Bad Linux lifehacks
Trying to build a program from source but getting a fatal error from some header about needing to enable a macro? Just comment out that check in the header!
This tip brought to you by me doing that exact thing to get a program to compile.
re: Bad Linux lifehacks
Ok, but seriously, I got an error trying to build gplates about needing to define an accept deprecated proj_api.h macro and I literally went in to /usr/include/proj_api.h and commented out that check. It seems to be fine. After all, that's the only place that macro is checked for and the program's building fine.

And, of course, in all seriousness, don't do this unless you're sure it won't break shit. proj_api.h only checks for this macro to bitch at you for not having it and I'm pretty sure nothing else on my system relies on proj_api.h. And, of course, I'm a trained professional editing on a closed course. Don't try this at home
re: Bad Linux lifehacks, now it's getting shitposty again
Remember: I'm someone who's Dunning-Kruger'd herself into believing she's an expert. Don't try this at home.
