How to create installer for linux mint

Question

Hi I have created rpm for my software which works fine for fedora. But this fails whenever I want to install the same in linux mint. because linux mint supprts .deb file for installation. So I want to create installer package for my software which will be compatible in linux mint.

Thanks Sunil Kumar Sahoo

Check out the program alien, which allows you to manipulate foreign packages on a linux distro. Note that this is fine for installing simple packages, but you should build the package from source if you intend to distribute to a large audience.
