Yep, there's no Uninstaller yet (see Issue #15).
In the meantime, running sudo make uninstall
from the cloned repo (& a system restart) should get rid of everything.

Hi,
on the strength of the createdigitalmusic.com blog I installed this applet... on osx 10.6.8, with the simple installer.
Can you please, or anyone else for that matter, please provide a simple 'how-to-uninstall' procedure ? I'm having some significant problems with one of my Vst hosts and I need to rule wavtap out as the culprit. Btw people are crying out for instructions on how to uninstall it in the comments section of the createdigitalmusic.com article (published at the end of September). .... "running 'sudo make unsinstall' from the cloned repo" might as well be written in another language as far as my understanding of it goes.
Thanks!

Hi, Blergh!
Hope you or someone else will find this note useful.
As you might find it in the makefile (from the application sources) there're several actions performed with uninstall commands for 'make'.
see here: https://github.com/pje/WavTap/blob/master/Makefile
However to properly erase WavTap from your system you have to use Terminal.app (under sudo or root user).
1- Unload kernel extenstion:
$kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/WavTap
or using the bundle name (e.g. kext file was already removed from a hdd)
$kextunload -b com.wavtap.driver.WavTap
or
2 - Remove the application itself_
$rm -rf /Applications/WavTap.app
3- Force to remove all other related files.
$rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/WavTap.kext
$rm -rf /Library/Receipts/WavTap*
$rm -rf /var/db/receipts/WavTap.
$rm -rf ~/Library/Services/WavTap.workflow
kind regards,
Alexey

hi
i cant get any of them commands to work
terminal keeps saying '-bash: -rf: command not found'
any help would be appreciated
cheers

Alexey's comment could benefit from separating the $ character and rm. rm is the command to run--its name is short for "remove".
I suspect you typed in literally:
$rm -rf ...
into your terminal.
This syntax will try to substitute whatever is in the rm shell variable, since you prefixed its mention with a $. However, since that wasn't defined, nothing was substituted. Therefore, the shell tried to run the "-rf" command, which doesn't exist.
You want to type in instead:
rm -rf ...
for each of those commands.
The presence of the $ character was to help indicate that you should be executing the commands in a shell.

Thank you Alex and Pennello. I have a Mac since a week. I figured out how to mange and get rid of this very nasty app. Many thanks to you ;-))

Hey now, let's keep the comment bile here to a minimum. This app is still a prototype. It needs love.
from wavtap.
What it needs is an uninstaller. :-(

"In the meantime, running sudo make uninstall from the cloned repo (& a system restart) should get rid of everything."
Can you elaborate on this? What is a cloned repo? I want this thing gone from my system.
from wavtap.
Thank you Asterfisch, that worked great.
I made an an applescript of it. Type the following into the script editor, run it or save it as an application and run that:
do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/WavTap.app" with administrator privileges
do shell script "rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/WavTap.kext" with administrator privileges
do shell script "rm -rf /Library/Receipts/WavTap*" with administrator privileges
do shell script "rm -rf /var/db/receipts/WavTap" with administrator privileges
do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Services/WavTap.workflow" with administrator privileges
