Hollywood forums

I'm on Ubuntu and trying to write a game that uses rapagui, and when compiling it it says it is successful and in the log I see it is saying it was able to find rapagui.hwp. But when I run the executable it pops a window saying that rapagui.hwp is required.

What did I do wrong? As I said it says it found and loaded rapagui.hwp at compile time and in HollywoodGUI it lists the rapagui examples etc.

Thanks!

Did you place RapaGUI in the directory of the executable? If so, is it really the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit must match too)?
You can also link a plugin to the executable, but this may cause licensing issues. Please read the Linking plugins section in the manual.

Yes I belive I placed it in there. As I said it loads the plugin when compiling my game, and thos is the only plugin I am using so licensing should not be a issue. I read that link before but from what I could see there is only one folder for Linux, not all of the linux platforms supported in Hollywood.

RapaGUI on Linux is a bit more complicated because there are four different builds (GTK2, GTK2+webview, GTK3, GTK3+webview). My guess is that you've linked a webview build of RapaGUI to the executable but gtk-webview isn't installed on your system. To see why RapaGUI fails loading, you have to install Hollywood and RapaGUI on your Linux system and start it from a terminal. If it fails to load RapaGUI, it will print some info on why it couldn't be loaded to the console, typically because some components are missing on the Linux system.
