Zenity on AIX

dfn · 10-07-2016, 09:28 AM

I want to use zenity on AIX. Is it possible to use zenity dialog on AIX? where can I download zenity.tar for AIX? Can I create multiple forms such as an input form and msgbox using zenity? Is zenity more powerful than yad or kdialog?

I'm not familiar with Zenity but it looks like a component of Gnome. AIX by default uses CDE if you choose to install a graphical environment. IBM does distribute various 3rd party software in addition to the base OS, see below for instructions on installing Gnome from the Linux Toolbox CD they provide. These are either in RPMs or native BFF format.

For somewhat less than supported or official options you can also see www.perzl.org/aix, which provide RPM files of various utilities, or try to build your own with gcc.
