wine users - Mar 2009 - How does a noob have to uninstall Wine (on MacOSX)??

Hello,

I have tried to install Wine on my mac pro (leopard 10.5.6) but it did'nt
work very well. When I wanted to run a windows applications, wine told me that I
had to install Freetype 2.0.5 or later. I downloaded it from this website :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3157.
Unfortunately I didn't install freetype properly. As a consequence, when I
try to run an application there are many problems. Therefore, I would like to
uninstall Wine totaly. I don't know how to do... I found this :
> 2.7. How do I uninstall Wine?
> If you want to remove Wine entirely after you installed it with your
distribution's package manager, you can generally uninstall in the same way.
Note, however, that uninstalling Wine will not eliminate the virtual Windows
installation - to do that you must follow the instructions below. If you
installed Wine from source, then use make uninstall in the source directory to
remove it.
I think I have to use make uninstall but I don't know where is situated the
source directory (yes I am a noob  [Embarassed] ).

Do you know how I can do? I would like to delete all Wines's files and all
Freetype's files in order to reinstall everything later.


Thanks for help.

It is not clear from reading your statement what you downloaded, so I have a
question:

Did you download Wine from this location or Freetype?

Uninstalling Wine, if downloaded from Sourceforge, may be problematic.  However,
all is NOT lost, I'll have to look at how do this.   Others may also advise
based upon their results.

How did you install Wine? From source, or via darwine?

I downloaded Freetype from there.

To remove wine in this case:

cd to the wine source directory, Desktop/Wine-1.1.3.

run the unixy uninstaller:

sudo make uninstall

This should remove all of the Wine files from your system.

I highly recommend avoiding all of this trouble by running a pre-built Wine
package, but the latest available is 1.1.9 from Mike Kronenberg.  Zach
Drayer's builds may be problematic as they do not run on my system and have
been reported to install software in /usr/local.

I will ping the folks at darwine.good-day.net again to try and get a response as
I built several later Wine files, but they will only run on Leopard (MacOSX
10.5) and only on Intel based Macs.

ok. But I deleted this file (Desktop/wine-1.1.9). Would it work if I redownload
the file?
Is it the same method to uninstall freetype?

thanks for your help

This should work.  However, you may have to run ./configure and then make BUT
not sudo make install.

sorry, I don't understand what is ./configure and make for. Could you
explain it to me, please?

maybe I have found  [Laughing] 

I have downloaded wine-1.1.3 on my desktop and I did this :

> cd Desktop/Wine-1.1.3
> ./configure
> make
> sudo make uninstall

There was one error but after the uninstallation, I did : winecfg and terminal
answered me command not found which means that Wine is uninstalled   [Idea]

It appears that Wine has been uninstalled.  However, try opening a
terminal window and typing in

[code]

wine

[/code]

You should get an error that the program could not be found.
