Quick answer: You don't. All of the dependencies you've listed aren't
managed, so they won't run on Linux.

For fully managed applications ( those written for .NET/Mono) you'll
need probably the help of some commercial tool like, for instance,
BitRock's InstallBuilder:
http://installbuilder.bitrock.com/index.html, if you really wan't to
provide similar installers on Windows and Linux.

The preferred way, though, is to package for Linux in the native
formats (.deb/.rpm/.tgz) as needed for each targetted distro. Ubuntu
uses the .deb format, and has many rules for how the app should be
packaged: see http://www.mono-project.com/Guidelines:Application_Deployment
and Ubuntu specific rules.

Good learning,
