Designed package installation

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to ask my question.

I need to write the install mechanism for both Unix and Windows for my on-line shopping system. (like make,make install).

Can you suggest me any link or Documentation or just give an advise how to organize the installation mechanism.

The Gnu Build System is OK for but I think it is too hard for my system, I need only the mechanism to give users the way to set True Type fonts path and jpgraph library path. I think using the config.cfg file is more convenient in my case but how to read it? ( php? or shell? or make???)

What format is common in such files????

Thanks in advance

Traditionally, online systems are simple enough that they can be installed with an online script. Create a PHP file the asks the user about a bunch of system settings, and then writes these settings to a database, or configuration file. Then instruct the user to delete the setup script, and do not allow the system to work until they do so.
