I install a software in commande line from this source and I did : tar -zxvf geneid_v1.4.4.Jan_13_2011.tar.gz and make but I put it in my Download folder, so I would like to install it in a more proper way, in another folder.

So i did make clean, Is it enough ? I have just to rm the folder and that's all ?

Thanks

If you just ran make, then it is ok to just delete the folder...

  • And if I did make install or ./config ? – user3608663 Mar 17 '15 at 07:53
  • if you did `./configure`, that's ok (that's just preparation for make)... If you did `make install`, than full uninstall may be hard or almost impossible... – Jakub Lucký Mar 17 '15 at 07:54
  • really ? It's not possible to unistall a programm ? – user3608663 Mar 17 '15 at 08:09
  • Make install just copies some files in system directories, it is hard (to impossible) to find all of them... You can try running `make uninstall`, but it might not be implemented... If it is not, the only suggestion is to study the Makefile a deleted all files manually – Jakub Lucký Mar 17 '15 at 08:13
