A quick google search shows many ways:

1) 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44030618/embedding-manifest-to-exe-file/44031483
this one would have worked if we had a working GDC compiler on 
windows. Just skip to another option:

2) 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/how-to-embed-a-manifest-inside-a-c-cpp-application?view=vs-2019

mt.exe -manifest MyApp.exe.manifest -outputresource:MyApp.exe;1

PS: mt.exe is available with my cmd because Windows Kits are 
installed on my Windows computer. I don't know how to have it 
working otherwise.

3) 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/manifest-create-side-by-side-assembly-manifest?view=vs-2019

This requires you to use visual studio. Maybe it can be achieved 
with VisualD, I don't know.
