Re: [GD-Linux] portable MessageBox

[<cas...@ya...>]

Hi,

I've finally found a very simple solution that should work on most cases.

Currently most distributions provide dialog programs, those programs are 
designed to be used from shell scripts, and provide a very simple 
interface to create different kind of dialogs. Some examples of those 
programs are: kdialog, zenity and xdialog.

So, to create a simple message box, you can do:

system( format("kdialog --title %s --msgbox %s", title, text) );

If none of those programs are available, you can still use a little 
utility called xmessage that I think should be available on most systems.

Hope that helps,
