Hi y'all,
I've been Googling how to do this, but coming up with nothing
definitive. Are there any articles for how to do this for:
Windows?
Linux?
other UNIX-alike OSs?
UPX?

Thanks for the reply, alle99z. Sorry for my badly-phrased
question, I think I need to clarify...
What I'm looking for is a system for bundling dlang apps and
their dependencies for distribution to end users. Hopefully, this
bundler will:
- install the app in an appropriate place (like C:\Program
Files\<dlang-app>,
- install libraries/dependencies (such as GtkD) also in an
appropriate place,
- make any modifications to the system PATH that may be necessary
for the app to run, and
- handle any other roadblocks that will keep the user from using
the app.
Whether this is an actual pre-existing application bundler or
just a list of instructions I can follow so I can end up with a
distributable one-click-does-it-all (on Windows, at least)
package.
Similarly, on Linux or other UNIX-alikes, a breakdown of how to
use apt or something similar to do the same so the user can (for
instance) just do:
apt-get <app> <appropriate switches>
to install.
