Compilation on morphos

I have managed to get my Hollywood program compiled on a pc and on a mac. Both use rapagui and I know where to place it in the directory. My question is associated with compilation on morphos running on a mac ppc. The question is in two parts.
1. Should I be using muiroyale or rapagui for morphos?
2. When I come to compiling it where do I place muiroyale or rapagui?
Sorry to be so dumb but I just could not figure out what to do. This shows I am a newbie.

1. I don't know if there is any performance difference, but otherwise I think it's just which happens to suit better for your project. If you already have a program using RapaGUI for other platforms, I guess it'd be easier to use the same code for MorphOS too. There might be some more operating system specific functions in MUI Royale, so at least I've been using it for the projects I don't intent to compile for non-amigaish platforms...
2. Plugins can be placed in SYS:Libs/Hollywood/ directory, and then they are always available no matter if you compile a program or run the script. Weren't they even copied there if you install the plugin with the installation script? They also do work if you have the plugin file in the same directory where you run the program, so you don't need to worry about installation on users' systems, just have the plugin file in the same dir with the executable. Here's the documentation
link.

Thank you very much for your reply. But I am still unclear what version of rapagui I should download. There are columns for mac os x, windows, linux, android, etc. but no column for morphos. I can only assume it is for Amiga as that is the closest to morphos. Am I correct?
Thanks for telling me what directory I have to place rapagui.

Yes, you have to download Amiga Archive. Despite Windows Archive this one includes an Installation Skript. At Installation it will ask you for which Amiga flavour (Amiga OS 3 68K, Amiga OS 4, MorphOS, AROS) you'd like to install.

I switched from MUI Royale to RapaGUI. MUI Royale is a bit more finetuned to max out MUI features/functions, but I think, for most programs RapaGUI is just fine and hence I switched to that.

I am now in a quandary. When I open my program (which is basically a treeview) through Hollywood in morphos, I get no complaints. But all the writing and columns have disappeared. This is a complete mystery because the identical program works fine on a pc or a mac.
I do not understand what is going on because if i run the treeview example program with rapagui there is no such problem. I suspect the morphos version is not reading the asociated xml file properly.

You are talking 'bout the XML file defining your GUI ?
Normally if it is corrupt, Hollywood would output an error message.
Don't know how you transfered your files. Maybe an automatic character set conversion occured ? The content of the file and the character set mentioned in the XML Header have to fit together (default is UTF-8).

In that case there would be an error message.
If you can't work out what's going wrong there, strip the program down to as few lines as possible and post the code here. Then I can take a look.

I have not included the other files required to view the contents of course as they are private.
Why this works perfectly on pc and mac, but not on morphos has me stumped.
