How to redistributie compiled proprietar software for Linux?
I want to redistribute my software as binary (Linux) package. But AFAIK where are a lot of difficulties, related to "dependency/dll hell".
What is common suggestions in this case? (except redistributing source codes)
- link all statically?
- declare support of only main dists (Ubuntu for example)?
- Create Windows application and execute is under Wine?
My goal is to make my app working on most platforms without resolving any dependency conflicts and w/o recompiling it on designated machine.

I would suggest supporting only a subset of Linux distributions (e.g., Red Hat 6.5, some Ubuntu LTS, etc.) and build packages for each of these separately. It takes care of the dependencies.
