Hello
I have made a hollywood designer-presentation, and compiled it for macOS
When I try to run it (using a intel-machine with macOS 10.5.2), it begins to open the window, but then chrashes with the following message :
Cannot read file Backgrounds/ferrulemedia.jpg ! File :demo bleking.hws (current line : 17 - in function : LoadBGPic. I have added a screenshot.
when i looked in my hws-script , line 17 was like this : LoadBGPic(1, "Backgrounds/ferrulemedia.jpg")
Do anyone know why this doesn't work ?
Best regards Torgeir

Thus, you need to place your "Backgrounds" folder (and all other data that is used by your program) to where the executable is. Under Mac OS X, the executable is hidden inside the application bundle in
"demo bleking.app/Contents/MacOS"
So you need to copy your "Backgrounds" and "Brushes" folders to
"demo bleking.app/Contents/MacOS/Backgrounds" and "demo bleking.app/Contents/MacOS/Brushes"
It should work then.
Currently, the Mac OS build requires all files that use relative path specifications ("Backgrounds/ferrulemedia.jpg" is a relative path specification) to be relative to the generated executable.Hello

I changed the behaviour in Hollywood 3.1. Now you need to put the file to where the app is, i.e.Hi,

The files are structured like this:
What's wrong with this ?

You've placed the Fonts directory inside the app bundle but it must be outside of it, e.g.What's wrong with this ?
Code: Select all
/CircleText/CircleText.app
/CircleText/CircleText.app/Contents
/CircleText/CircleText.app/Contents/MacOS
/CircleText/CircleText.app/Contents/MacOS/CircleText
/CircleText/CircleText.app/Contents/Resources
/CircleText/CircleText.app/Contents/Resources/CircleText.icns
/CircleText/CircleText.app/Contents/Info.plist
/CircleText/Fonts/goudyb/23
/CircleText/Fonts/goudyb/48
