How to uninstall Qt which built from source

Chuan Lau

I built an old version of Qt from source code on my Mac OS X 10.11. And now I want to uninstall it. What can I do for this purpose?

Depends on how you installed that old Qt build.
Did you install it in a dedicated directory? Then just delete that directory.

@jsulm I installed Qt according to Install Qt for Mac OS X, which is a guide for building Qt from source code. But now I cannot find the way to uninstall.

In the article you can find:

By default, Qt is configured for installation in the  /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%

If you did not use the -prefix option to specify another location then just delete /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%
If you did then delete the directory you used with -prefix option.

@jsulm Thank you. I got it.
