digitalmars.D.learn - list dll from Gtk executable build with dmd not working

So I build a Gtk executable with dmd, following this[1] tutorial 
but no tool ldd, nlldd, listdlls[2], dependencies[3] list the 
gtk's dlls that the executable, as far I know, depends on to run, 
hence the need to install the Gtk runtime[4]. What am I missing?

all those tools only return the windows dlls:


 ldd a.exe


         ntdll.dll => /c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll 
(0x7ffb1c5f0000)
         ntdll.dll => /c/Windows/SysWOW64/ntdll.dll (0x77b50000)
         wow64.dll => /c/WINDOWS/System32/wow64.dll 
(0x7ffb1a820000)
         wow64win.dll => /c/WINDOWS/System32/wow64win.dll 
(0x7ffb1c270000)
]

that's supposed to return something like this:

libatk-1.0-0.dll
libatomic-1.dll
libbz2-1.dll
libcairo-2.dll
libcairo-gobject-2.dll
libcroco-0.6-3.dll
libcrypto-1_1.dll
libdatrie-1.dll
...

I figured out, I guess. gtkd doesn't link those statically rather 
load it dynamically[1], so it's showing up in the mentioned 
tools. So Linker.getLoadLibraries() return those dlls filenames.
