Can anybody help me. I'm trying to publish my .net core console app into single file.
I'm using this command:
dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:PublishTrimmed=true
I'm expecting that it will create a single file. But still there's dll files:
clrcompression.dll
clrjit.dll
coreclr.dll
mscordaccore.dll
How I can fix it? I already search but that's the same result
To bundle native libraries you need to specify the IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract flag.
So try running this dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:PublishTrimmed=true /p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file#other-considerations
To include the dotnet runtime dlls into your executable, you need to also use the --self-contained flag. So you can run dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:PublishTrimmed=true --self-contained true.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file
If using visual studio, go Build-> Publish [yourprojectname], edit the profile and check Produce single file.
I also had the same problem but I found the answer by exploring the dotnet publish help menu. Use the following command dotnet publish -r win-x64 /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true this will embed the .dlls in the binary therefore in the publish folder will remain only a .pdb file which isn't necessary during runtime.
