PopUp menu

AlMeu · 11-03-2019, 06:38 AM

I am using scripts for WinCE to show a popup menu and chose what I want run or go in a sub menu with a click.
In Linux, there is any option to do something similar only with scripts without additional software install?

Some possible options:

dmenu
rofi
yad
zenity

Depends on desktop but there are several choices. The most basic is dialog which requires ncurses. xdialog and zenity are gtk based and kdialog for KDE desktop.

What is installed by default depends on the distribution. dugan posted a few others while was typing.

One of the options from post #2 could be installed already.

There is Yocto distribution and seams zenity don't run.

zenity requires a desktop and since you mentioned Yocto I assume your device does not have a desktop or is not based on gtk. Try dialog which is based on ncurses.

Yocto is not a distribution by any stretch.

Considering the nature of your questions, I don't think you built this one yourself - there's some info missing here.

There is Poky (Yocto) version. I did't build it, it is system running in a unit and I want build a menu for chose different scripts for run on it.
That's way I asked for script without additional software to install.
