    <p>The best way to distribute binaries is to <em>publish your program in source form with a free license</em> (like GPL); then distribution makers (and contributors) will eventually package your program for their distribution (and you don't have to bother with that).</p> <p>Otherwise, you could distribute binary packages for some few major Linux distributions (eg <code>.deb</code>for Debian or Ubuntu with <code>.rpm</code> for Redhat or Centos or Mandriva).</p> <p>Some non-free software (like AMD/ATI <em>Catalyst fglrx</em> for driving ATI graphics card) are distributed in a form which generates appropriate binary packages (on the end-user machine).</p> <p>All the libraries you mention are available in every standard not too old Linux distribution. You don't need to distribute them, just mention that you need them (and give a precise list of them, with their version number).</p> <p>I would really <strong>avoid  [re-] distributing the system libraries</strong> like <code>libc.so.6</code> or <code>libstdc++.so.6</code>; the main reason to avoid distributing them is that your user (installing your copies on his system) will very probably make a big mess on his own system (and that could break other existing programs, which will make your user pissed off). Of course, if you choose (wrongly in my opinion) to distribute them, you have to comply with their license. But your users already have them, and by re-distributing them you <em>increase the probability of a big mess</em>. So just give the binary executable of your program (suitably packaged), without the system libraries that it requires.</p> <p>All package managers (and package formats) deal with dependencies (on other packages), so will install e.g. <code>libstdc++.so.6</code> in the rare cases when the user's system don't have it already.</p>

    1. COYup, I will publish source of my program, indeed, under GPL, but I'm sure no distro will package it on many reasons (only few people will use it and, well, in fact, I'm not ready to provide something like .configure scripts and so on) OK, I could give list of library names... but couldn't different versions put into trouble? For example, couldn't a little older or a little never `glibc` provide different symbol names in its library although it would have same name `libc.so.6`?

    2. COI believe you are wrong. Eventually (within one year or two) someone will package your program. And if you publish in GPL license the source code, don't bother publishing binaries!

    3. COI need to publish Windows binaries at least... suppose, first people to try and use it are Windows users. So, same problem here - it's much more pain not to distribute MinGW's GCC dll's along with executable for Windows users.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
