I use Avalonia on Gentoo-Linux to create an F# GUI. But want an exe

General

How do I create a “self-contained” executable with F# ?
I tried in the project file:

<SelfContained>true</SelfContained>
	<PublishSingleFile>True</PublishSingleFile>
	<PublishTrimmed>true</PublishTrimmed>
	<IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>true</IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>

But when i place or the dll or the exe to another place it fails.
So for some reason or not everything is “in it”.
Note there are 620 dll’s in my application folder.
But i want just one by ,preference native executable, if not possible interpreted dll, which contains all the dependencies.

It worked with this. The important was the trimmode.
[Altough i don’t know why]
