Sup /g/ents,

I've been busy writing a cross platform application based on QT. Now i was wondering what the best way is to deploy the package on linux. Msi installer for windows & .apk for android. Should i just write an configure script and let the users compile it themselves or should i bother creating and maintaining a package for the most popular distros?
>>
Depends on the application and its target user group.

Nice memes.

Probably not a good idea to expect paying customers to compile stuff themselves on the most common distros.
Do it like this:

>>57097107
If you are serious, then make DEB / RPM package and then convert it to the other format using alien / other tool to cover 95% distributions.

Expecting your custoners to executing buggy scripts on often crippled bash enviroments is suicide in the long term.

Why? They're already running linux, so they know buggy barely working shit is the norm and don't expect any better.

You get what you pay for.
Only the free-as-in-beer volunteer maintained distros are buggy barely working shit.

the most you could do is provide a .tar.bz2 like mozilla

otherwise source of stable branch with some instructions should be fine for most
>>
>>57097107
provide .deb and .rpm packages with a statically linked executable. You should also link a libc in there since glibc versions differ

.deb & .rpm package it is then. Code will be posted on github as well with a few instructions on how to compile, if necessary. Thanks anons

Hopefully I can manage to publish the OSX and IOS versions as well. Never developed for good ol' steve
