Table of Contents
CrossOver creates two directories during its installation and setup. The installation process creates a directory structure at a user-specified location, whereas the setup directory is always in a fixed location relative to the user's home directory.
the Bottle Manager may also modify the MIME type associations on the system as well as the KDE and Gnome menus.
The location of the installed files can be specified during the
installation, which defaults to ~/cxoffice
for a
non-root installation, and /opt/cxoffice
for a root
installation. The installation tree has the following structure:
bin
|
This directory contains all the executable programs used by CrossOver. As a
general rule, it is better to not place this directory
into your PATH as it may conflict with other versions of
Wine. We recommend creating symbolic links to individual programs in
/usr/bin instead.
|
lib
|
This directory contains all the shared object files used by CrossOver. Again,
we recommend against adding this directory to your
ld.so.conf or to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH .
|
doc
|
This directory contains the CrossOver user guide. |
.manifest
|
This directory is generated during installation and contains information used during the uninstallation process. |
share
|
This directory contains supporting files used by CrossOver. |
support
|
This directory contains your system's managed bottles. |
support/installers
|
This directory contains any installers that the Bottle Manager has downloaded for you. |
etc.
The etc
directory contains the CrossOver
configuration. This directory contains the following files:
cxoffice.conf
|
The CrossOver configuration file. The variables are fairly heavily commented, so there is a good chance that if you were so inclined, you could meaningfully edit it with a text editor. However, note that for most users we recommend using the Bottle Manager to modify this file. |
*.bak
|
the Bottle Manager automatically backs up old versions of configuration files. It can get untidy--feel free to delete extraneous files. |
~/.cxoffice. This directory contains all of the CrossOver settings, and all of your bottles.
~/.cxoffice/bottlename
.
Each bottle directory contains the following files and directories:
*.reg
|
Files that contain a simulated registry for the Windows environment. |
drive_c
|
A complete directory structure replicating a Windows environment. |
