How to uninstall?

Post by AutoFire »

I can't uninstall VBA-M. I am using Linux Mint 13(read: Ubuntu 12.04). I compiled bgk's linking build (only to find that the link functions don't work in the GTK version ><), and now I want to get rid of it so I can get the trunk version from subversion. Problem is, it doesn't show up in the package lists (since it was compiled from source), and 'make uninstall' doesn't work. Help!

Â

EDIT: before anyone asks, this is the output in the terminal when I try to get the trunk version currently:

alec@alec-G50V ~ $ svn co https://vbam.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vbam/trunk .
svn: '.' is already a working copy for a different URL

Â

FURTHER EDIT: I solved the subversion issue with 'svn switch', but I still have VBA-M's files in my home folder. I want to get rid of them so I can redownload the source into its own folder and not have two copies of VBA-M on my system.

How to uninstall?

You mean all the files got dumped into your home directory, correct (instead of being contained somewhere)?

Â

In that case, you can just delete the files manually. So, this should work:

Â

Code: Select all

rm -r CMakeLists.txt  CMakeScripts  debian  doc  fex  po  project  src

Â

BE CAREFUL - if you have other files in your home directory with the same name (like src) they will be removed.

Â

You can then make a new directory, cd into it, and redo the checkout

Code: Select all

mkdir vbam_srcs
cd vbam_srcs
svn co https://vbam.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vbam/trunk .

Â

Hope this helps.

Â

Edit - I had a few intermediate files, changed the delete list to reflect a clean checkout.
