Linux installaton

[Viktoras Didziulis]

I did not try these tools yet (my project is just a directory that can be
copied and pasted anywhere), but I know they exist: 
http://autopackage.org/ 
http://bitrock.com/ 
http://www.lokigames.com/development/setup.php3 
 
By the way, just tried executable (livecd which is to be released soon)
compiled with Rev 2.6 for Linux and was a bit surprised that it works on
Puppy! Also on PCLinux. Ubuntu (of course...) under Gnome and XFCE. However
there were problems with KDE - Konqueror refuses to run an executable even
if it sees that it is executable. Seems that the only way to run it under
KDE is through console or shell script. 
 
All the best

I'll be making my first ports to Linux this year, and I use my own 
custom installer for Mac and Win and am looking to extend that for the 
Linux installs as well. 
 
On Mac and Win it's expected that an installer will take care of putting 
any files in the appropriate places, setting up any associations needed 
between the app and its document file types, and make sure icons display 
appropriately for both the app and its documents. 
 
My understanding is that the various window managers for Linux each have 
their own mechanisms for these, and that they aren't the same. Is that 
correct? 
 
Is there a single site you could recommend to get familiar with how to 
write installers for Linux that provide a smooth user experience?
