I noticed that "python36" requires "binutils". Further, I noticed this dependency chain:
python36 > libuuid-devel > pkg-config > libglib2.0_0 "binutils" is 5,863,216 bytes and "libglib" is 3,044,044 bytes. I am of the opinion we should not be including large dependencies like these unless they are actually needed. From my admittedly brief testing, they are not needed: $ setup-x86_64 -P python36 $ setup-x86_64 -x binutils,libglib2.0_0,libuuid-devel,pkg-config $ python3 -c 'print("hello world")' hello world -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
