Hollywood 11 GUI and libs:hollywood/ do not work on AROS
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2026 5:02 pm
Fially got round to downloading and installing Hollywood 11 to my AROS machine (x86) but hit some problems:
The GUI does not work. 'Display' does nothing and 'Compile' always complains that there are errors in the script and compilation has failed. This is with both the supplied examples and other known working scripts. If the compiler is used durectly from the command line, the scripts can be run and compiled.
The plugins in libs:hollwood are ignored and Hollywoodplayer (usually kep in c:) or the Hollywood compiler (in Hollywood:system/) complains the plugin is not present. If the 'plugin' directory is set up within the directory Hollywoodplayer or Hollywood is run from, the script works. Amigasystem has also noted this behaviour (please see https://arosworld.org/print.php?type=F& ... 12236&nr=1).
Cheers,
Nigel.
