In my app report-video 2.7 I warn the user to upgrade to version 8.4.

Here is how I did it.

Notes:
1) The first two lines finds the app

2) VERSION=( $($GTKDIALOG -v) ) # creates an array

3) VERSION=${VERSION[2]} # finds the third element of array

4) VERSION=$(echo $VERSION | sed 's/\.//g') # gets rid of period to make integer

5) VERSION=${VERSION: -2} # get rid of front zero by selecting last two digits

6) A final message is shown with yaf-splash


I suggest that apps that need gtkdialog4 have a warning window
in the pinstall.sh file using code like this.


Code:

#!/bin/sh
# demonstrate  warn-version
for P in gtkdialog4 gtkdialog3 gtkdialog; do
GTKDIALOG=$(which $P) && break
done

   VERSION=( $($GTKDIALOG -v) )  # create  an array
   VERSION=${VERSION[2]}     # find third element
   VERSION=$(echo $VERSION | sed 's/\.//g')  # remove period
   VERSION=${VERSION: -2}  # remove first zero
   let "UPDATE=$VERSION-84" # check gtkdialog version at least 0.8.4
if [ "$UPDATE" -lt  "0" ]; then
MESSAGE="Please update gtkdialog version"
else
MESSAGE="Version is up-to-date"
fi

A=$("$GTKDIALOG" -v | sed '1q' | awk '{ print $3 }')
yaf-splash -close box -border false -fontsize large -bg orange -text "Gtkdialog version  $A
$MESSAGE"  &
exit 0
