How to uninstall Minetest compiled from source

[BBmine]

Hi, I got rid of the Minetest package on my Linux, but Minetest is still there! I compiled it from source a while back, so how do I uninstall it?? Thanks!

If you built it as the readme suggests then you just need to delete the minetest directory.

Wait, so all you do is delete the directory?

The Minetest binary is installed within /usr/local/bin then everything else, aside form your ~/.minetest folder, is in various /usr/local directories.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/minetest
/usr/local/builtin
/usr/local/client
/usr/local/clientsmods
/usr/local/doc/
/usr/local/games/
/usr/local/locale
/usr/local/mods
/usr/local/textures
/usr/local/minetest.conf.example

Like any guidance you read to delete stuff double the check the folders above in the instance that you've installed other self-compiled programs beside Minetest.

As an end note you can remove the /usr/local/fonts directory too but take the above advice, here's what should be in there after an MT install:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/./fonts
/usr/local/./fonts/Cousine-Bold.ttf
/usr/local/./fonts/Arimo-Regular.ttf

When building from source, I'd always make it run in place as the repo suggests:

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/#compiling

Code: Select all

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE

Then you can just toss the folder when it's obsolete.
