Hi yawniek!

A description how to cross-compile can be found here: 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/fhwvxatxezkafnalwhqr@forum.dlang.org. 
For sure to build a linux binary you need all the referenced libs.

I can't give you advice on how to build such an environment on OS 
X. Linux distributions usually provide some cross-compilers and 
libraries. Maybe you find a brew package.
