Uninstall from source

[Mingus]

I always download source and compile them, configure, make make install. But now I want to remove some of the programs I used, how do I uninstall them. I tried make uninstall, it keeps telling no target found, *#$%@.
HHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPP

You have to execute 'make install' from the directory of the program source. If you have deleted the source, then I believe your only choice will be to manually delete all the files & directories associated with the program.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Check the Makefile for something like remove, uninstall, deinstall, purge, delete, whatever. If you can't find anything, checkj the install section, and delete all those files, then make clean, and delete the directory

[Mingus]

How do I know which files to delete? I just run configure, make, make install.
Is there anyway to track the files?

make uninstall probably works
then just delete the directory containing the source and you should be good
