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
