VDI images should be in VM directory, not upper level "VirtualBox VMs" directory #80

Open brlodi opened 4 years ago

brlodi commented 4 years ago

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run make all as described in README.md and follow install process.
  2. After install, macOS-VM.efi.vdi and macOS-VM.vdi are located directly in ~/VirtualBox VMs instead of ~/VirtualBox VMs/macOS-VM as is typical for VirtualBox VMs.

Expected behavior After install, macOS-VM.efi.vdi and macOS-VM.vdi should be located in ~/VirtualBox VMs/macOS-VM instead of parallel to it.

Additional context

Thanks for the feedback. However, this is sort of an expected behavior. The different make targets allow to delete the VM, the image, the download, ... and recreate the different files as well. Changing it should be possible, but would need some testing. Leaving this issue open...

I haven't tested it, but it looks like this commit to someone's fork is intended to fix this issue? If it does, perhaps it could be merged upstream to fix it?

Also is there a safe way to move all the files into that directory after install, or would doing so break the VM? Thanks!

Didn’t know this fork. Interesting changes...
