Description:
MojoSetup is an application to generate setup wizards with a GTK2
GUI, very
similar to what people are used on Windows systems.
It's already being used by several GNU/Linux ports of commercial
video games.
Usually you have to download the source code and compile the binaries
needed for
the setup all by yourself. However the first time doing this can be
quite complicated
and you even might have to chroot to build i386 versions on amd64.
It would be much easier if pre-compiled binaries could be installed
through the package manager.
You can find a script that helps you to generate a setup along with
pre-compiled binaries
on my Github repository: https://github.com/darealshinji/MojoSetup-Bins
You can find some example packaging file here:
