On windows you can just copy runtime dll with exe. Same on osx I 
think (after patch 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/2503).
On linux you have to put runtime so to some system directory (it 
is possible to have so relative to exe via rpath=$ORIGIN but this 
is considered unorthodox way).
