[PROJ] How to uninstall proj?

[Laurențiu Nicola]

Hi Tom,

This isn't specific to proj, but most software doesn't have an uninstall target. You're probably supposed to install it to a different prefix and optionally turn it into a package.

The general solution is probably to run make install again, take a note of what it's installing, then remove those files. If you used CMake, you might have an install_manifest.txt file with a list of what to remove.

For completeness, here's what my distro's proj 9.0.1 package contains:

proj /usr/
proj /usr/bin/
proj /usr/bin/cct
proj /usr/bin/cs2cs
proj /usr/bin/geod
