Add instructions for uninstalling to README
Hi there :D I'm in the same boat. While you provide perfect instructions which can be copied and pasted by complete novices, there is no uninstall function that is view-able to the user. where exactly is the source directory?
Re-reading the details it seems like
Building
git clone https://github.com/hannesschulze/conecto.git && cd conecto
shows message
fatal: destination path 'conecto' already exists and is not an empty directory.
however as much as I'd like to run ninja uninstal
that returns ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory
meson build --prefix=/usr perhaps?
ERROR: Neither directory contains a build file meson.build.
ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory
now through some trial and error (please note I have no clue how I got here!) it seems Build targets in project: 6 Found ninja-1.8.2 at /usr/bin/ninja
However cd /usr/bin shows many many files ans
ls ninja-1.8.2 prints...
ls: cannot access 'ninja-1.8.2': No such file or directory
So put bluntly I don't know what I'm doing.
please help me uninstall connecto?
I understand I need to run ninja uninstal in the source directory but I don't know where that is.
Awaiting a response - Linux noobie.
Hey, AssistwithUninstal! :) The command
git clone https://github.com/hannesschulze/conecto.git
downloads the source code of the program into the folder conecto. Since you've already done that, it fails. Then cd conecto changes the active directory to the folder conecto. In order to run ninja, you actually need to get one folder deeper, to conecto/build.
When you cloned, built and installed Conecto, you started your terminal in some directory (presumably the home directory ~). If you now start terminal in the same directory, you need to do:
cd conecto/build
ninja uninstall
You should learn more about how the Terminal works. I recommend reading these: [1] [2] [3].
Hope this helps. Good luck!
