[Wine] Uninstall wine from source and configuration files
Hi people . Im new to Wine Forums and to Linux World,and i had a problem . I installed Wine 1.1.8 from source and them i make a uninstall . I upgrade to 1.1.9 but my configuration wine file still remains (the 1.18 version ) . I want to uninstall everything (including the configuration files) except the aplications. how do i do that ? and i dont want to "rm" the .wine directory. can i do a #make uninstall with a "purge " option ? Thanks.

Wine will automatically update the config files, so no need to worry. -- -Austin

[Wine] Re: Uninstall wine from source and configuration files
The question is rather: why do you want to uninstall everything related to Wine if you' re just going to install a newer version of Wine? There is pretty much NEVER a need to uninstall a previous version of an app just to install a new one under Linux. ;)
