Subtopic autotools
autotools now works like a dream. We have been distributing stuff via
autotools for several days now and have only come across the following
problem.
"make uninstall" (as root) appears to work but in fact doesn't. Given
that we have installed "sysinfos-0.0.2.tar.gz" via the usual
unpack/cd src dir/ config/make/(root)make install
then we can see it quite well via:
[root@bluecow ~]# which sysinfos.gambas
/usr/local/bin/sysinfos.gambas
However, when I try to use the "uninstall" target, I get:
[root@bluecow sysinfos-0.0.2]# make uninstall
Removing sysinfos.gambas file... rm /usr/local/bin/sysinfos.gambas
[root@bluecow sysinfos-0.0.2]#
which appears to have worked at face value, but in actual
fact /usr/local/bin/sysinfos.gambas still exists!!
[root@bluecow sysinfos-0.0.2]# ll /usr/local/bin/sys*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6820 May 4
22:08 /usr/local/bin/sysinfos.gambas*
(I have also tried the "make uninstall-am" and "make unistall-locall"
with no better result, but I don't think that is an issue.)
Observations:
1) There doesn't seem to be an "uninstall" target in the makefiles that
I can see so I can't add any value here.
2) Although, obviously root could simply
"rm /usr/local/bin/sysinfos.gambas", there really should be a working
target.

p.s. The source (and autotools) packages for "sysinfos" is in the
related post "Distributing Libraries etc".
