Bundle .net exe, dlls, .net environment and Native dll in single exe

Question

I am trying to bundle my C# application(.exe) with its dependent dlls, a Native dll and required .net assemblies to single exe using mkbundle.

So, first of all is it possible to do so using mono mkbundle?

If yes, when I try to do it using command

C:\MyProjDir>mkbundle -o BundleName --deps OriginalAppName.exe

When compiling

as -o temp.o temp.s 

I get error:

'as' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. [Fail]

I found somewhere that I need to install gcc, gcc-mingw and as packages. (sic). I did install gcc, gcc-mingw but I don't know where to find as packages which is the error. Please suggest if there is any other way of doing it. Thanks

Answer 1

You can use ILMerge

For the Native DLL you can embed the DLL as an application resource, and extract the resource to disk at the time of execution.
