Hi,
I have downloaded and built several Code::Blocks on Ubuntu. Can I move them to trash ?
-
depends how you build them. Did you do a "make install"? If not you can simply delete it....

As the last command I used :
-
If you've not used a separate prefix for all of them, but you've used the default of /usr/local, your doomed. They cannot be removed.

Is there no uninstall rule? That's a shame...

The uninstall rule uses the current build folder config to do the uninstall.
So if you're at version x, but you've installed version y. You might be out-of-luck if you want reliable uninstall.

It's there, of course, but:
The uninstall rule uses the current build folder config to do the uninstall.
So if you're at version x, but you've installed version y. You might be out-of-luck if you want reliable uninstall.
If you make an change to the build-system you are probably lost.
You have to run uninstall before making changes or use the --prefix parameter when running configure to install in a seperate (if possible user-) folder to easily remove all files and not to clutter system folder.
No sudo needed and recommended not to use it, or you clutter your system folders with test-builds.
There have been several posts about the same problem in our forum.
