src/Makefile.am: two fixes to the gnome-shell wrapper handling (1.03 KB, patch)
2011-04-04 17:55 UTC, Dan Winship 		committed Details | Review

Description Adam Dingle 2011-04-04 17:41:42 UTC 
To see the problem, run the following commands in the source directory:

$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo make uninstall

The installed gnome-shell binary will still be in place.  (This is /usr/local/bin/gnome-shell if you're using the default installation prefix.)

src/Makefile.am: two fixes to the gnome-shell wrapper handling

Add an uninstall-hook to undo the effect of install-exec-hook, and add
an $(AM_V_GEN) to the rule that copies either gnome-shell-real or
gnome-shell-jhbuild to gnome-shell.

Review of attachment 185126 [details] [review]:

I'd have to clean my install directory to know if this actually fixes all 'make uninstall' issues, but patch does what is advertised.
