GUI building help please?

[aaronmarsh632]

Hi,

How would I go about building a GUI for a command line program for ubuntu please? I have no experience with this so if anyone can point me to a tutorial would be great. I only have experience with autoit in windows which I use to build guis for windows cl tools.

Thanks

Aaron

I have been tying to teach myself python with both qt & gtk, but if you just want a gui for bash:

Whiptail is a program that allows shell scripts to display dialog boxes

Zenity is another option. It is installed in Ubuntu by default.

For help:


man zenity

or


zenity --help
