Errors after executing Code::Blocks

stahta01:
I would try this command; but, there might be more info from a Linux guru on other commands to try and details on when "unistall" should be called.

--- Code: ---sudo make uninstall

--- End code ---

I see nothing from your first post that looks wrong to me. But, the messages you get are normal under Windows; while, being rare under Linux. I have no idea if they are now common under Linux builds.

on Ubuntu (here 16.04) I install via something like:


--- Code: ---sudo checkinstall -y make install
--- End code ---

This creates a deb package and installs it. Then you can uninstall via apt, synaptic etc. Handy, when your latest cb  shows a problem. Then you can uninstall that and reinstall the previous deb if you have kept it.

@blauzahn: Why don't you just make full dep packages?

@ordak: Deleting /usr/local is the only clean way to do it. But then you'll lose other softwares you've installed from source in the default prefix...

Because I:

* must have overlooked/forgotten about that and therefore

* have not tried it yet. I will try to look it up when I have a bit more time. Can not find it immediately,
neither in the wiki, nor in BUILD/README, nor via make [tab].
* use checkinstall for several other programs as well (including wxWidgets). This is convenient.
Apart from the latter, I have no special reason to use checkinstall in particular. If there is a canonical
way, it is usually preferable of course. Thank you for remembering me.
