You cannot simply ship a single file; at most, you can bundle all the dependencies together and then use a launcher script to set up the whole environment, but I would not recommend it. You should probably look at Flatpak, instead: http://flatpak.org/ Flatpak solved the issue of building and bundling your application, as well as sandboxing it. If you use GTK+ 3.x you will already have access to all the required features to make it work. Ciao, Emmanuele.
