If you look on google there are several statements from the main
developers of ubuntu, gentoo and other major distributions that say
horrible things about autopackage. It´s considered one of the worse
ways to install an application possible.

Just one link: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_unpack/autopackage/index.html

There are dozens of other links of other distros says even worse things.

AFAIK the solution to easely install a software on Linux is to use the
native packages, like .rpm and .deb

Thinking about that I wrote a tutorial for people that use free pascal
and want to generate rpm packages for their software here:
