You have obviously used some crappy Enterprise distribution like Red Hate, Ubuntu, etc. I would kill myself rather than use one of them.
You still ask? [My distribution didn't include a sane package manager.]
Your distribution didn't include a sane package manager. Try again and then come back. If you want to install your own applications, either use the package manager or install them in /usr/local/bin or /home/user/bin.
I compile things for Windows. My things.
I agree, compiling others' code on Windows is usually bloody tricky :/
It's even a worse pain to have to fix others' code or symlink some shitty library [... My distribution included insane packages.]
Your distribution included insane packages. I never experienced any of that.
Hi, ever tried copying stuff?
Yes! I once tried copying a shell command that would install every package I use. System restored in... C&P, enter, install packages, done.
Yes, it is because these things shouldn't be broken from the start.
Good, because nothing is broken from the start.
That's because you failed it.
I did not!
No, it's not sane, it's a pain in the ass, and it's very error prone.
Don't use uppercase, it's evil!! Bad practise!! WRYYY!!
Now you're gonna say . should not be in the PATH because it's insecure, right?
As long as it is in the end and shell aliases take precedence it should be relatively safe.
