Actual compile support about rhombus-prototype HOT 4 CLOSED

I think the part you're missing is probably raco distribute: Sharing Stand-Alone Executables. In particular, this advice may be relevant:

The number of needed support files depends in part on the way that executables for a distribution are created. Supplying --embed-dlls or --orig-exe to raco exe reduces the need for support files, but at the expense of making the distribution larger if it contains multiple executables.

Hi @Lazerbeak12345
Racket uses the same incremental native-code compiler as Chez Scheme. The ‘CS’ compiler has been the default compiler since version 8.0. (8.3 was just released )

In interactive mode, this compilation occurs automatically and on-the-fly. Tools like raco make and raco setup marshal compiled bytecode to a file, so that you do not have to compile from source every time that you run a program. See Compilation and Configuration: raco for more information on generating bytecode files.

For the CS implementation of Racket, the main bytecode format is non-portable machine code.

Racket Reference, 19 19 Performance: 19.3 Bytecode, Machine Code, and Just-in-Time (JIT) Compilers

There is a small sample with instructions to create a stand-alone executable at https://github.com/racket-templates/cli-command

I hope this helps
Best wishes
