If any of that documentation is unclear, let me know and I'll rewrite it to make it better.
I have read this, but is does not explain what the behavour is/suppose to be when there exists an /mnt/windows. dosdevices/c: always points to ../drive_c. So the doc does not answer the questions I asked:
But how are dosdevices/c: related to my /mnt/windows? Are files first
It doesn't. ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: points to what windows programs will see as a "c:" drive.
Please never point your c: drive to the real windows drive - that won't help wine at all but it might brake your windows beyond repair.
Hmm, you are the third to answer me, but none so far have answered my questions.
Are files first looked up in dosdevices/c: and the in /mnt/windows/ if not found?
The reason I ask is that icewind dale on /mnt/windows/ does a FindFirstFileA("C:/program...") which wine translates to dosdevice/c: and ofcause does not find anything. Am I suppose to make a link to where the program is installed, as if I had installed it with wine? <<<
So I will try and refraise the questions:
How does wine differentiate whether I have installed a program under ~/.wine/drive_c/ or under /mnt/windows/, when it does a FindFirstFileA("c:/Program Files/")? In the first case it should translate it to ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/ and in the latter ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:/mnt/windows/Program Files/?
If I have a program that does this, should I then make a link from ~/.wine/drice_c/Program Files/foo to /mnt/windows/Program Files/foo? (This will work with this program, but I have newer read such recommendation).
