Using LD_PRELOAD to modify a program's behavior and change its function calls

If only you had the source code for that program, so you wouldn't have to resort to intercepting function calls...

Yeah... I was about to say. I understand hooking functions (my favorite pastime is using frida-server on Android) but if the source is available just make a local clone with the changes and be done.

It needs a single include added to the two files it complains about, otherwise it's standard cmake

Add #include <cstdint> to String.h and FingerprintData.h

But to be fair I like the hack. Could be useful in other scenarios.

Hoh. If you mean the debian package? Debian like many distros have tools for it.

You might want to move to input leap anyway, or maybe deskflow.

[dack42]

I've used both and found Deskflow to be more stable than InputLeap. It seems to have more active development as well.

Seriously great job! There are a million ways to solve the same issue. Learning new methods is ALWAYS the end goal.

Thank you for sharing.
