- Subject: make uninstall could do rmdir
Hello,
recently, I run "make uninstall" with a package I previously installed
by "make install".
The package heavily uses the feature
foodir = ...
foo_HEADERS = ...
and thus created many directories. After the uninstall, the directories
are empty. I imagined that "make uninstall" could remove them in such case.
Why this is not working?
Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
I see the manual says:
Note that `uninstall' is not meant as a replacement for a real
packaging tool.
So perhaps that is the answer.
Thank you in advance for any comments.
