Could you describe what you mean with "Bundle portable file application"?

All dependencies inside an exe file. Like Python Pyinstaller.

One possible way is to use import() operator to embed file into resulting artifact, then write it to disk in main or module ctor and load as usual.
note however you need to tell compiler about file lookup path (-J flag) or use dub string import path respectively.

  // compile time
  enum myEmbeddedFile = import("path/to/file");

  // pseudocode
  void main()
  {
    // write file at runtime
    write(cast(ubyte[]) myEmbeddedFile, "./myfile.ext");

    // or use directly from memory
    writeln(myEmbeddedFile)
  }

this however not possible with implicit dynamic linking, though you still can use this approach if you do use LoadLibrary/dlopen yourself.

Do you with "dependencies" mean "resources"? In that case, yeah import is an option someone mentioned.

I do not mean resources .res, except if is possible use files inside resources without copy to hard disc and make accessible as it is in local path.

I am afraid we are not speaking the same language.

Because it sounds like you may not be using "dependencies" as it is conventionally understood in most programming communities, you'll need to give examples.

For the record, dependencies are typically either compile-time dependencies or run-time dependencies, and in both cases I think the commonest example would be a library.

What are the dependencies that you would like to merge into executable? dlls? resources?
