Follow-up Comment #2:

Can you clarify what is the problem here ?

FYI - if you install gnustep-base using 

  make install

you can uninstall it using

  make uninstall

*But* if you install it using

  make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=XXX

then the correct command to uninstall is --

  make uninstall GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=XXX

(just saying because I wondered if the original reports of gnustep-base not
uninstalling correctly were not due to it being installed in one domain,
then
uninstalled from another domain).

Once the GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN used when installing and uninstalling
match, then as far as I can see, uninstallation works fine.  All files are
removed.

We do leave some empty directories behind - but gnustep-make has never made
any attempt to remove empty directories on uninstall, so this is nothing
new.

Are the empty directories the issue ?  Eg, I see the Languages/ directory
being
mentioned as being left behind.  That is created using gnustep-make's
xxx_RESOURCE_DIRS so I guess we should enhance gnustep-make to remove
on uninstall directories (if empty) that were created using
xxx_RESOURCE_DIRS.

I assume that's the bug reported here ?

Thanks
