How does a noob have to uninstall Wine (on MacOSX)??

Bob Lee Swagger · Post by **Bob Lee Swagger** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 12:30 pm

Hello,

I have tried to install Wine on my mac pro (leopard 10.5.6) but it did'nt work very well. When I wanted to run a windows applications, wine told me that I had to install Freetype 2.0.5 or later. I downloaded it from this website : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... up_id=3157.
Unfortunately I didn't install freetype properly. As a consequence, when I try to run an application there are many problems. Therefore, I would like to uninstall Wine totaly. I don't know how to do... I found this :

2.7. How do I uninstall Wine?
If you want to remove Wine entirely after you installed it with your distribution's package manager, you can generally uninstall in the same way. Note, however, that uninstalling Wine will not eliminate the virtual Windows installation - to do that you must follow the instructions below. If you installed Wine from source, then use make uninstall in the source directory to remove it.

I think I have to use make uninstall but I don't know where is situated the source directory (yes I am a noob

).

Do you know how I can do? I would like to delete all Wines's files and all Freetype's files in order to reinstall everything later.

Thanks for help.

It is not clear from reading your statement what you downloaded, so I have a question:

Did you download Wine from this location or Freetype?

Uninstalling Wine, if downloaded from Sourceforge, may be problematic. However, all is NOT lost, I'll have to look at how do this. Others may also advise based upon their results.

How did you install Wine? From source, or via darwine?

I downloaded Freetype from there.

From source.
I used this link to donwload the file : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=77449

I installed wine via terminal :

Code: Select all

cd Desktop/Wine-1.1.3
./configure
make depend && make
sudo make install

./configure

sudo make install

To remove wine in this case:

cd to the wine source directory, Desktop/Wine-1.1.3.

run the unixy uninstaller:

sudo make uninstall

This should remove all of the Wine files from your system.

I highly recommend avoiding all of this trouble by running a pre-built Wine package, but the latest available is 1.1.9 from Mike Kronenberg. Zach Drayer's builds may be problematic as they do not run on my system and have been reported to install software in /usr/local.

I will ping the folks at darwine.good-day.net again to try and get a response as I built several later Wine files, but they will only run on Leopard (MacOSX 10.5) and only on Intel based Macs.

ok. But I deleted this file (Desktop/wine-1.1.9). Would it work if I redownload the file?
Is it the same method to uninstall freetype?

thanks for your help

This should work. However, you may have to run ./configure and then make BUT not sudo make install.

It appears that Wine has been uninstalled. However, try opening a
terminal window and typing in

Code: Select all


wine

You should get an error that the program could not be found.

It's OK, Wine has been totally uninstalled. Thanks for help

As I wanted to uninstall wine, I'd like to know how to uninstall freetype. and then install everything properly...

Do you know how to uninstall freetype?
