Question 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:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE glade-interface SYSTEM "glade-2.0.dtd">

function login_server()

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

I know its been awhile, but I saw the answer to this while looking for other related gtkdialog info..

..apparently Ubuntu uses dash instead of bash; the post I saw indicates that it will work normally if you change to a true bash shell. (I think the post was on this forum, but I cannot find it)

It's been even longer now
How far did you get with this, and did you find any good examples? I'd quite like to find some gtkdialog/glade examples...

Also, if you didn't want to use glade you should check out the gtkdialog/bash programs used in Puppy Linux, some of which are very complex (a lot are found here - N.B. a .pet file is just a .tar.gz with a checksum), and the gtkdialog tips thread

I put together a few basic examples awhile back, and also links to my resources:

Hopefully you will find them helpful!
