| sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libxpm-dev libjpeg8-dev libgif-dev libtiff5-dev libtinfo-dev librsvg2-dev libmagickwand-dev libacl1-dev libgnutls-dev | |
| # Note: if you have installed Anaconda python distribution, it will | |
| # affect how linker find libjpeg8 dynamic library files. To resolve | |
| # this, simply remove Anaconda directory from PATH variable. | |
| # ./autogen.sh |
| // Just before switching jobs: | |
| // Add one of these. | |
| // Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge. | |
| // | |
| // This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public", | |
