VisualBoyAdvance-M

I can't uninstall VBA-M. I am using Linux Mint 13(read: Ubuntu 12.04). I compiled bgk's linking build (only to find that the link functions don't work in the GTK version ><), and now I want to get rid of it so I can get the trunk version from subversion. Problem is, it doesn't show up in the package lists (since it was compiled from source), and 'make uninstall' doesn't work. Help!

 

EDIT: before anyone asks, this is the output in the terminal when I try to get the trunk version currently:

alec@alec-G50V ~ $ svn co https://vbam.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vbam/trunk .
svn: '.' is already a working copy for a different URL

 

FURTHER EDIT: I solved the subversion issue with 'svn switch', but I still have VBA-M's files in my home folder. I want to get rid of them so I can redownload the source into its own folder and not have two copies of VBA-M on my system.

You mean all the files got dumped into your home directory, correct (instead of being contained somewhere)?

 

In that case, you can just delete the files manually. So, this should work:

 

rm -r CMakeLists.txt  CMakeScripts  debian  doc  fex  po  project  src

 

BE CAREFUL - if you have other files in your home directory with the same name (like src) they will be removed.

 

You can then make a new directory, cd into it, and redo the checkout

mkdir vbam_srcs
cd vbam_srcs
svn co https://vbam.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vbam/trunk .

 

Hope this helps.

 

Edit - I had a few intermediate files, changed the delete list to reflect a clean checkout.
