DocumentationAppendix A. Directory Structure, Location of Files
- Table of Contents
- A.1. Installation Files
- A.2. Menu and Association files
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.
OfficeSetup may also modify the MIME type associations on the system as well as the KDE and Gnome menus.
A.1. Installation Files
The location of the installed files can be specified during the installation, which defaults to $HOME/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 User Guides for CrossOver and for Wine. |
| .manifest | This directory is generated during installation and contains information used during the uninstallation process. |
| support | This directory contains supporting files used by CrossOver, including any installers that OfficeSetup may have downloaded for you. The support directory also contains your system's managed bottles. |
| support/clients | This directory contains the CrossOver Linux Server Client installers. |
| support/installers | Contains installation programs that OfficeSetup may have 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 OfficeSetup to modify this file. |
| *.bak | OfficeSetup automatically backs up old versions of configuration files. It can get untidy--feel free to delete extraneous files. |
~/.cxoffice. The .cxoffice directory contains all of the CrossOver settings, and all of your bottles.
~/.cxoffice/bottlename. Each bottle directory contains the following files and directories:
