[SOLVED] Remove GSettings schemas when removing the package

Hi, there.

I'm packaging a software. It'll install a GSettings schema. `make install` will install it completely.

But when I want to uninstall it, I wrote:
--
uninstall () { make uninstall }
--

No. It didn't do anything. So how can I uninstall it completely?

Best Regards,
Mike.

Re: [SOLVED] Remove GSettings schemas when removing the package

/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

that needs to be run at post_install, post_upgrade and post_remove in a .install file

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Not sure what your problem is.

The schema file should be installed (and removed) just as any other files in the package, I think. However, you must include a glib-compile-schemas in post_install and post_remove. Make sure the package doesn't include schemas.compiled (or smth) file. More on that here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … guidelines

Also, when making a package, everything should be installed in $pkgdir, not on the root fs. Therefore, no need for uninstall, pacman does that.

Thank you very much! I almost forgot to use .install file.
