LinuxQuestions.org - gtkdialog + glade + bash/dash/sh

Hi all!

I am trying to build some simple applications in Linux. I am not a seasoned coder. I have some experience in bash scripting and very minimal knowledge of python. This is why I decided on using gtkdialog with an interface built using Glade and the code written in bash.

Let me mention that I am using Linux Mint Felicia which is based on Ubuntu Intrepid.

However, I am facing some problems with running gtkdialog. I keep getting this error:

Code:

sh: source: not found

sh: login_server: not found

It even appears when I use the example scripts that are provided in the gtkdialog docs. The GUI is displayed but any action that is initiated (clicking a button) gives this error in the terminal.

From my searches, I think the problem lies with the function scripts which contain bashisms... but I am not sure.

Here are the example files I am running.

glade-01.00-entries_functions.sh

Code:

#! /bin/bash 



gtkdialog --glade-xml=glade-01.00-entries_functions.glade \

          --include=glade-01.00-entries_functions.functions \

          --program=login_window

glade-01.00-entries_functions.glade

Code:

Code:

function login_server()

What is wrong here? I am totally stumped...
