[GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 213, Issue 52

Subject: Re: [GNC] Uninstall Question
Each install is in it's own directory. This is the cmake line in my script
file:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/opt/gnucash-4.4 ../gnucash-4.4
For each new install I simply copy the script and change the build and
destination directories.
Same for the makes and installs
There are sub directories under opt for each version that I have built.
Lookd like I should be ok with the deletions.
Thanks again.
Mike
