How to uninstall something installed with cmake

[dovder]

I'm trying to install a package called supercollider-plugins which is designed to work as an extension to some music software called supercollider.

I installed supercollider via apt.

I've followed the instructions to install supercollider-plugins from the .tgz file. I've reproduced the relevant parts of the install instructions below:

sc3-plugins/$ mkdir build && cd build

sc3-plugins/build/$ cmake ..

sc3-plugins/build/$ make

sc3-plugins/build/$ make install

Turns out though, I've installed supercollider-plugins in the wrong place. It needs to be installed in the same location as supercollider.

So my question is: how do I completely remove supercollider-plugins so that I can start again? Can I remove the directory it installed into? Come to think of it, can I just copy the files into the right place and expect it to work?

Thanks

David

To install them to your system, you will need to run "make install" using sudo.

CMake generic install

mkdir -p builddir

cd builddir && cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`

or with the 'buntu:

cd builddir && cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

make

sudo make install

With the 'sudo make install' there should be project installation information:

$ sudo make install

[ 0%] Built target something_automoc
[100%] Built target something
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: ""
-- Installing: /usr/something/...
-- Installing: /usr/share/something/...
...etc...one line per installed file

The cmake should make a list of the installed files in the build directory - install_manifest.txt


CMake generic uninstall


The files can be removed by hand or with the command:

sudo make uninstall

You need to be in the build directory.

Come to think of it, can I just copy the files into the right place and expect it to work?

Maybe, you could test it.

sudo make uninstall

But of course!

Thanks for your help, guys.
