Where does Wine install my windows stuff on my mac?

Alright I just installed like 3-4 games using wine and whenever it asked me where I want to install it, I usually click next etc.

I tried searing for them with spotlight but I couldn't find them. The games I installed are probably like 8gbs.

How do I access that C:\ drive I installed them in?

spotlight will not find them by default unless you are looking at hidden files/folders.

just like on Linux, the default wineprefix is going to be in your home folder under .wine

starting with a . means itshidden, so finder will not show it. Without any 3rd party hacks, the easiest way to see it in Finder is to open Terminal.app and type in...

Code: Select all

open ~/.wine

Actually it is better to use

Code: Select all

open $HOME/.wine

This will work with any version of MacOSX and if Linux is installed.

However, there are third party programs you can get that will allow the
display of hidden/system folders. USE WITH CAUTION... One such folder
is where Fink stores its program information.

I tried the following code:

Code: Select all

open $HOME/.wine

and it returned an error, that no such folder existed. I know this means that I put the folder in some other place. Would it be possible to figure out where the .wine folder is without manually looking through all of my folders?

Where did you get Wine from?

The default for MacPorts/Fink is $HOME/.wine.

Don't know about other products, you will have to ask on their support
forums.

BTW, neat trick. I've got to keep that in mind.
