 |
|
Can I use Qt to make QUI's for my shell script? Heres what i have so far (it dosent work right tho)
i know its pathethic, but i'm pretty new at this, so try not to laugh too much 
| Code: | echo "Hello, welcome to matchstick. You must be root to use this script."
echo "Enter full path of target directory to be burned: "
read $path
cd $path
echo "Enter target directory to be burned: (must add a space and . to the end)"
read $dir
echo "Enter target device (usually 0,0,0 but if unsure open another konsole and execute cdrecord -scanbus)"
read $targetdev
mkisofs -R -J -o $dir
echo "Thank you for using Matchstick!" |
Its only using mkisofs and cdrecord for right now (dont try to use this script it dosent work right) |

Yes, but the learning curve for C++ is steep and creating GUIs isn't something you'd be able to tackle until you're proficient in C++. Just take a look at a 'simple' C++/qt application and you'll see quite a bit of code.
You could learn a scripting language in a fraction of the time it would take you to learn C++, so you could write your app in hours instead of weeks. |

Here's an entire book on pyqt with plenty of sample code to learn from:
