How to remove CodeLite? #3427

Open ShuiXiJin opened 1 month ago

ShuiXiJin commented 1 month ago

Hi,

I am using Macbook and would like to reinstall CodeLite completely. For my first time, at the setup wizard page, I click c++ and next, then CodeLite freezes for long time and I have to force it to quit. For the second time I open CodeLite, there is no longer such setup wizard and I don't have GCC for my complier, only clang++.

I am thinking of completely remove CodeLite and all its relative folders and files and install it all over again. But with macbook, I drag the icon into bin, which doesn't completely remove the files and folders. Can anyone help with this?

Regards Yuqing

The hang is fixed in latest master. To workaround it, start CodeLite from a terminal:

open /path/to/codelite.app

To remove completely, delete the

~/.codelite

Folder

FYI: I have updated CodeLite for macOS to version 17.11.0 - you can install it via brew and hang issue should be resolved with this version

brew tap eranif/codelit
brew update
brew reinstall --cask codelite-official

To let CodeLite re-configure the compilers, you can do it from: Settings -> build settings and click on the magnifier button
