How Do I Use The Makefile In The WMPotify Transparency Fix?

Post by lakes »

github.com/fixpointer/libcef-transparency-linux
I tried using all the commands in the make file.
Not only am I getting error messages, but I don't know how to use the "make" command that I'm supposed to run.

I think you have to run:/yourusrdir/libcef-transparency-linux-master/ make to run the make file. If you're still experiencing issues, put in an issue request.

For some reason, that isn't working either.

No. Maybe I'll try again and see if it works.

Yeah, whether you're on Linux or Windows (or Mac ig), whenever you're told to do anything regarding a filepath, read it incase there's placeholder folders that are supposed to be replaced with folders you have like C:\Users\[your Windows user] or /mnt/

AND there could be suspicious filepaths like the infamous "sudo rm -rf /" (DO NOT USE), where the '/' is everything. The Linux C:\ drive.
sudo rm -rf removes files as root, and removing / deletes everything.

Thanks. I already knew about sudo rm -rf because I watch some tech youtubers sometimes.
