Packaging Wine and my app in a one-file installer

Post by the_madhatter »

Hi people,

I have a Windows app that works with Wine and I want to make a one-file installer (.deb / .rpm) for my users.
Just like WineBottler does on MacOS. I'm not an hardcore linux user but I read a lot about this and I still get confused. I found different solutions :

CrossOver
It seems to do the job but it's not free and there's licencing issues.

PlayOnLinux
It allow to export/import wineprefixes but it's not a stand-alone installer and I find their setup assistant very confusing.

Wine Packaging
It seems possible to compile Wine and include existing prefixes (http://wiki.winehq.org/Packaging) but I don't understand everything. Moreover the FAQ warns "this information is largely out of date and is going through a near total review/rehash at the moment (april 14th)".


I can't believe there isn't a tool or a simple way to package Wine with apps for distributing.
Can anyone help me or give me some helpfull links ?
