Hi all,

	I have installed the newest gdb 7.8.1 on Solaris. But When I want to uninstall it, the output is:
	
	bash-3.2# make uninstall
	the uninstall target is not supported in this tree

	So how can I uninstall gdb? Thanks very much in advance!
	
Best Regards

Yikes.

A clumsy workaround is to cd into each subdir in the build tree and do
make uninstall there.

bash$ cd $build/gdb
bash$ make uninstall

That will uninstall gdb (modulo bug 17180).
What it won't do is uninstall the other pieces that get installed.

The issue is implementing the top level uninstall rule to cd into each
subdir and recursively invoke make install.

I filed a bug on this issue:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17530

For reference sake, there is also:
