- File program
- Installation folder
- Any other files.

similar InnoSetup for Windows

No, there are not. Actually a deb package is just a tar.gz archive
with specific files and directory structure. Should be trivial to
create an script or simple program to create it. There are several
simple tutorials on the www.

Using a combination of checkinstall and fakeroot, you can create debs.
You would create a "install file script" that would copy files into
the correct locations, and run it using a combination of fakeroot and
checkinstall to create the deb.

sudo apt-get install checkinstall fakeroot

Code: [Select]CheckInstall(8)                                        
      CheckInstall(8)

NAME
       checkinstall  —       Track installation of local software, and
produce
       a binary manageable with your package management software.

SYNOPSIS
       checkinstall [options]  [install command]

DESCRIPTION
       checkinstall is a program that monitors an installation
procedure (such
       as  make install, install.sh ), and creates a standard package
for your
       distribution (currently deb, rpm and tgz packages are 
supported)  that
       you  can  install through your distribution's package
management system
       (dpkg, rpm or installpkg).

       Note that for most useful actions, checkinstall must be run as
root.

          fakeroot(1)

NAME
       fakeroot  -  run a command in an environment faking root
privileges for
       file manipulation

SYNOPSIS
       fakeroot [-l|--lib library] [--faked faked-binary] [-i  load-
file]  [-s
       save-file]   [-u|--unknown-is-real   ]  [-b|--fd-base  ] 
[-h|--help  ]
       [-v|--version ] [--] [command]

DESCRIPTION
       fakeroot runs a command in an environment wherein it  appears 
to  have
       root  privileges  for  file  manipulation.  This is useful for
allowing
       users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb etc.) with files in 
them  with
       root  permissions/ownership.   Without  fakeroot one would need
to have
       root privileges to create the constituent files of  the 
archives  with
       the  correct  permissions  and ownership, and then pack them
up, or one
       would have to  construct  the  archives  directly,  without 
using  the
       archiver.

There is a rather simple way to create deb packages for Ubuntu. Google
it and you will find tutorials on the Web. IMO the reason why it's not
explained as such at ubuntu.com is because, apparently, Canonical
don't want people creating deb packages that do not meet their exact
requirements for inclusion in a repository, which makes sense. Few
people have the time and will to follow all the requirements; for
example, in principle a deb should be built from source (dependencies
are determined at that time) while you might want to create yours from
binary files. Anyway, you can create a deb from binaries that will
install corectly on Ubuntu and will "tell" Gdebi what dependecies to
fetch. The critical step is writing a script that determines the
dependencies for binaries, but that is relatively easy if you are
familiar with Linux. I'll only give you a tip: there is a utility that
runs on SuSE Linux called rpmpm. Look at it closely and see how it
finds the dependencies for a rpm package.
