A method of automatically generating a software installation package. The method operates on an application program that has been ported to and debugged on a target computer system. A manifest is automatically generated, listing all application program files that must be installed on the target computer system. Then the method automatically determines which resources, in particular shared libraries, are needed by any of the listed files. Then the installation package is generated by combining the listed files, the needed resources, and any related installation materials. The needed resources are determined by generating a dependency list, comparing it with existing software installation packages, and identifying any packages that contain needed shared libraries as needed resources.
