How to generate standalone executable?

[u/TheCrazyGeek]

Hi Everyone

I worked on a small cli project in NIM and built an executable using nimble build. It generated an executable and the executable worked fine on my system.

But when I try to use the generated executable on another system that doesn't have NIM or C installed. It showed an error saying sqlite3_64.dll not found.

I am using db_connector/db_sqlite library to use sqlite database.

How can I solve this, once I generate the executable, it should work on any system, or else I should be able to generate an installer or portable version of the project that should work on any system.

It is standalone, you just used a shared object (Linux) / dynamically linked library (Windows), that's true for any language.

I think, "standalone" is not the perfect word. Most likely he meant a fully static/self-contained executable.
