Hollywood plugins use the suffix *.hwp
. On all systems except on AmigaOS and
compatibles, plugins must be stored in a directory named "Plugins" that is in the
same directory as the main Hollywood program. On AmigaOS and compatible systems,
plugins must be installed to LIBS:Hollywood
instead. On macOS, the "Plugins"
directory must be inside the "Resources" directory of the application bundle, i.e.
inside the HollywoodInterpreter.app/Contents/Resources
directory. Note that
HollywoodInterpreter.app
is stored inside the Hollywood.app
application bundle itself, namely in Hollywood.app/Contents/Resources
.
When distributing a compiled Hollywood program, plugins required by your program must
simply be put into the same directory as your program. When compiling application bundles
for macOS, plugins need to be put in the "Resources" directory of the application bundle,
i.e. in MyProject.app/Contents/Resources
. Alternatively, you can also choose
to link plugins into your executable.
The Android version of Hollywood also supports Hollywood plugins. You have to copy
them to the directory Hollywood/Plugins
on your SD card. Hollywood will scan this
location on every startup and load all plugins from there.
