I'd like to make a binary installer for a game I wrote on linux, this
game obviously use sdl :)
I'm just wondering if there are some guides or tutorial about how to
perform the following steps, obviously I've googled around a few hours
before posting here, but with almost not useful results...:
- Obtain a compressed "clickable" installer that runs with almost any
libc version.
(loki installer + makeself?)
- Be able to add KDE / Gnome menu entry in the correct way.
(no idea at all about this, I've seen that many distributions place the
small xml file used to describe the menu entry in different places, also
the format is slightly different in kde & gnome..., freedesktops may helps?)
- Be sure that the game uses my libraries and not the ones provided on
the user machine (to avoid compatibility issues).
(export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./mylibs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the game startup
script is enough?)
