"make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'." er

Post by solidex »

I've recently downloaded the newest version of WINE available fro WINE HQ (which would be 1.1.24 at the time of this writing), but I am having problems uninstalling the previous version. Whenever I type "make uninstall", I get the error listed in the subject. I've tried this in different directories, but I still get the same error. Even "make install" or "make clean" gives similar errors.

The version of WINE I currently have (1.1.22) was compiled from source, and "make uninstall" worked, if I remember correctly (it might not have, as before that I had the version of WINE that came with Fedora 10 and could uninstall it from the package manager). I tried to compile and install 1.1.23 when it was available, but I got the same error, as previously listed.

I'm curious is to how I can get "make uninstall" to work.

You need to run ./configure first.
