Packaging Software


I've written a very useful program, and I'd like to release it, since if its useful for me, its probably useful for other people. Its pretty simple, but its still quite nice (and does what it does well).

I've never packaged software before, so I've never used make or the autotools. I don't need a configure script (its very small, like I said), and all I want is to learn how to make a simple makefile.

Any ideas/reference/whatever?

Can the source be compiled with one or two lines, in that case a make isn't needed just make a bash script to call gcc.

What kind of a program is it? What's it written in? If its simple you could prob write a simple Install shell script for it.
