[CMake] How to deal with "make uninstall" ?

[Group]

Hello, I'm a newbie of cmake. In a simple project, I worte the
CMakelists.txt file like this:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
PROJECT(FREERECITE)

ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(src)
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(dict)

INSTALL(FILES ../bin/FreeRecite-core DESTINATION bin)
INSTALL(FILES COPYRIGHT README DESTINATION share/doc/FreeRecite)
INSTALL(DIRECTORY dict/ DESTINATION share)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

When I use "make install", everything do as I wanted.
But I can't use "make uninstall". How to deal with it?

And I hope you can give me more links about cmake tutorial.
Thanks.

Hello, I config my project as the above told.
Everything is OK when I "make uninstall". But the only thing I can't deal
with is that I can't delete some links which point to some libraries.
My output is like this:

$ make install

How can I delete the two links using "make install"?
Thanks!

Have you checked to make sure you have permissions to delete the affected
files?

What version of CMake are you using?

Have you tried this with CMake 2.6.2?

Can you create and send to the list a small example which reproduces the
problem you're having?

Ok, Philip Lowman. I'd like to give you some details:


$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.6-patch 2

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/usr ..
<Everything goes well, snip the details.>

$ make
<Everything goes well, snip the details.>

Now, as you see, the link also exists. I can't delete it automatically.

The lib core's CMakeLists.txt I wrote like this:
SET(LIBFREERECITECORE_SRC ConfigHolder.cpp DictItem.cpp Reciter.cpp
ForgetCurve.cpp Task.cpp Dict.cpp Manager.cpp WordList.cpp)

ADD_LIBRARY(FreeReciteCore SHARED ${LIBFREERECITECORE_SRC})

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(FreeReciteCore PROPERTIES VERSION 1.0 SOVERSION 1.0)
INSTALL(TARGETS FreeReciteCore LIBRARY DESTINATION lib)

Is there something wrong? And I don't know why "make install" will
create the links for
the library. They do nothing for me. Can I avoid it?

Thank you, very much!
