From the Autopackage Developer Quickstart:

Important note to C++ developers

If your software uses Qt/kdelibs, or just rely on many (large) C++ libraries, then you must

mysteriously crash

Can we have ever have a write-once compile-once run-anywhere system on Linux/BSD?

I guess that’s a stupid question.

Sidebar:

Autopackage 1.0 final to be (hopefully) released within a month. Yay!

Autopackage basically makes software installation on Linux easier. For more details, read the FAQ.

The Autopackage website is very well designed. I’m impressed.
