Hi folks,<br><br>I&#39;ve got an application to release. I&#39;m releasing the
source, but I also wanted to release binary versions for people that
don&#39;t have GHC. I developed on Windows, so making a Windows executable
was simple. I also have access to an Ubuntu Linux box, on which I can
easily build and test my app.<br>
<br>But, I&#39;m a bit confused about how to release binaries for Linux.
It&#39;s not so simple as on Windows. Or, maybe it is but I don&#39;t know it.
What do people recommend as a way of distributing Linux binaries? I
tried to make a Debian package and couldn&#39;t figure it out, but maybe
that&#39;s overkill. GHC itself has some kind of tarball for the binary
distributions, one for Debian and one for Red Hat. How would I make
such a package and what would go into it? There&#39;s only one executable,
so it shouldn&#39;t be too complicated.<br>
<br>I figure the main issue on Linux is that when you compile it, it&#39;s linked to specific shared libraries.<br><br>Don&#39;t have a Mac myself but I&#39;m happy to have Mac folks submit binaries. I&#39;ll worry about that later.<br>
