[SOLVED] How to remove program

konzo · 01-30-2010, 02:50 AM

Hi,

I have installed Codeblocks and now I want to remove it and install it again with additional plugins support. I found in the manual the command to do that:

Code:

make uninstall
make clean
make distclean
make clean-bin
make clean-zipfiles

The problem is that these commands must be run in the source directory which I deleted to save space. I check the Trash, but it is not there.

I downloaded source again and in the directory I try

Code:

make uninstall

but I get:
make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.

How can I uninstall it?

Regards.

It will depend how you install it. If you have installed it from source then you should be ok with the above procedure but you need to run those command from inside the directory from where you installed.

Seems to me you first need to run

Code:

./configure
make
make install

You will need to rerun "./configure" to generate the Makefile. Download the same version you installed.

./configure and
make uninstall as sudo done the work

Thank you all.
