Please Help Me Uninstall. Make Uninstall not Working. Beta10

[slixz85]

hi. i still enjoy playing this game i use 2.3.9 without any problems

i just need to uninstall beta 10 because i want to get beta 11 and the mouse movement in beta 10 does not work for me. it works in the top left right portion of screen but not the bottom.

i just dont like that idea of two warzones installed either. the sudo make uninstall command does not work from the games directory so i am not sure what to do. i installed it by doing ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

thanks to any help

If you didn't do sudo make install, then it isn't installed, so sudo make uninstall won't work.
You can just delete the game directory.
Most people on linux just run the game from the source directory anyway, it is a bit easier.

Are you playing in windowed mode, with the bottom part of the window below the screen? Or maybe wrong resolution?

to staff. if i put the game directory in the trash then ./src/warzone2100 still works from terminal to open it. so since it appears it is installed i have restored the folder back to where it was in case i can find a fix.
and to noQ. i have switched resolutions around and it hasn't fixed it. it started by default in window mode but had this problem so i switched to fullscreen besides that is how i like playing it. so i am not sure what is up with it. i have still been playing 2.3.9 with no problems but would really like to uninstall this beta10 all the way and just move to beta11 anyway since it is out and better. maybe this was fixed and some people had this problem.

If you deleted the directory, while you still had a terminal open to that directory, it won't delete it, until after you close the terminal, or change directory to something else that isn't in the source tree directory.

As I said, as long as you didn't do sudo make install, then you didn't install it.
If you want to install it, add the prefix flag to where you want the game to be installed to, or else, it uses the normal location for your distro when you do the sudo make install command.

Last I checked, Windows exhibits similar behavior - a file in use cannot be deleted - with the added feature that sometimes you need to reboot to clear a stale reference.
