I want to installe FFMPG on linux and FFMPEG need some dependencies. I want to packed all of them in one package that install all of them by just one click. And also doesn't depend to any distribution.

Hi, Welcome to LQ, artman1.

I wish I new the answer too, sounds like an idea I could use sometimes.

LQ has a fantastic search function that may save you time waiting on an answer to a popular question.

I don't think re-packaging files from other packages into your own is a good idea -
your package may work OK, when no dependencies packages installed, but it will conflict with any dependency package that was for some reason installed before FFMPEG.

You can try Ermine (http://magicErmine.com) or statifier (http://statifier.sf.net)

Both of them pack dynamically linked executable and all needed shared libraries (Ermine also able pack arbitrary files, such as icons, configs, etc) to the single self-contained executable, that can be run virtually on any Linux box (with same arch)
