Make uninstall command ineffective
 

RE: Removing an applications not installed by YaST

I ran the make uninstall as root, but at Suse Linux 10.0
main menu I can still load the application using the

Run Application... option

When I used the make uninstall command it gave the following
output:

The uninstall target isn't mandatory. The message "Nothing to be done for `uninstall'." is telling you that the uninstall target isn't doing anything. I'd say you're going to have to manually delete the files, which means wading through the Makefile/s and finding out where it put everything during the install.
