+Make Uninstall Rule Requested
+
+Environment: Ubuntu 14.04 - Qemu 2.1.1
+------------------
+I've configured qemu with some --prefix, compiled the sources and installed the binaries; now, for some reason, I need to uninstall qemu to configure it with the default prefix, recompile the sources and reinstall the binaries.
+However, there's no rule to uninstall qemu.
+
+All other packages which I have compiled and installed on my system offer the possibility to uninstall it: why not Qemu?
+
+just come to do the same...need to revert and cant :-(
+
+Can ubuntu 14.04 support the "checkinstall" program?
+If yes, then can we use the checkinstall program to fix this issue??
+
+Almost 5 years old. Please close this thread.
+
+Now we use meson for a build system, supporting "make uninstall" is potentially tractable, because meson itself supports 'uninstall' and we don't have a custom meson install script. We should check whether this is just a simple matter of wiring up the make target to meson and then do it, or else decide we don't want to support the feature...
+
+
+It already works since "make uninstall" is forwarded to "ninja uninstall" and from there to meson.
+
+This change is almost sufficient:

+
+It makes "make uninstall" uninstall things; however it doesn't uninstall the various LC_MESSAGES files that meson installs, because those are installed by a "custom install script" that's part of the meson i18n module, and meson's uninstall functionality doesn't uninstall things installed that way. So it's a bit half-baked :-/

+
+This is an automated cleanup. This bug report has been moved to QEMU's
+new bug tracker on gitlab.com and thus gets marked as 'expired' now.
