[GNC] Uninstall GC

[David Cousens]

John,

Won't that simply remove the source directories. With that prefix Dennis has
installed under /home/dennis/.local. If the build directory is under
~/Applications/gnucash-3.1 then he will lose the manifest by using rm  -rf
on the source directory. 

If he can locate the original build directory then issuing make uninstall
from a terminal open in that directory. I have adopted the practice of
putting the build directory inside the source directory and retaining both
(I once found that the make uninstall procedure seems to reference the
source directories not simply the manifest file or the build directories but
I have never checked this out fully) until after I have removed a build. It
doesn't cause any problems and keeps everything you need for an uninstall
together.

Dennis 
Your build directory is unlikely to be gnucash-3.1, that is most likely the
source directory. Where it is located is the directory from which you
originally executed the cmake command since you used absolute addressing to
the source. It may be  inside gnucash-3.1 if you used the mkdir <build>  and
cd <build> commands from the terminal open atgnucash-3.1 before issuing the
make command. Here <build> is a generic notation for a filename for a build
file. It will have whatever name you gave it at the time. The attached
screenshot gives you the directory structure and files in the build
directory note the dist_manifest.txt and install_manifest.txt. These will be
present in your build directory.
