Optimized Cygwin package

Optimized Cygwin package

[Kptain]

Hi,

Today my Cygwin package is around 1.4Gb.
I've tried to restrict amount of package required by distribution, it seems
lot of dependencies are required.

Does someone know how to restrict and optimize Cygwin packages knowing I'm
using it only for this applications?
  
  - gcc
  - python
  - perl
  - mintty
  - shell (mainly tcsh)
  - doxygen
  - make
  - tcl

Could you provide me selection to apply in order to minimize size of final
Cygwin package?
or what to remove from downloaded package.
Most of the time (except for Perl) I'm using standard libraries.

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

Given your list - no.
Actually, I'm surprised you've managed to wrest it into 1.5Gb.

Something sounds very wrong about that...

Off the top of my head, I would expect GCC to be ~100MB, python 30-60MB, 
shocked if perl/TCL were each larger than 100MB, mintty is measured in 
kB, most shells and Make are a handful of MB. Doxygen has no strange 
dependencies.

Even assuming maximal package sizes, that's only 400MB. Where exactly 
would you expect the other 1GB come from?

Running 64-bit setup.exe pulls the following default package set 
(package name, compressed size, uncompressed size):

That translates to 36MB downloaded, 115MB decompressed, and 134MB installed.

Adding in the missing packages OP mentioned *except* python downloads 
the additional files:
doxygen-1.8.5-1.tar.bz2 4.4M 9M
libcatgets1-1.1-2.tar.bz2 4.4K 13k

tcl-8.5.11-1.tar.bz2 2.1M 6M
tcsh-6.18.01-3.tar.bz2 550K 1M

The grand total increases to 44/134/155MB.

Python drags in the kitchen sink, with the dependency chain python -> 
python-tkinter -> tcl-tk -> X:
libexpat1-2.1.0-3.tar.bz2 57K 146k

tcl-tix-8.4.3-2.tar.bz2 207K 946k
tcl-tk-8.5.11-1.tar.bz2 5.5M 16M

Even then, though, the grand total only increases to 58/211/239 MB.

I'm coming up short about 1.2GB of packages here...

Note: running in download-packages-only mode pulls down some really 
strange things, and might be (part of) OP's problem. It fails to 
download the core package set (so you can't actually install a working 
cygwin), grabs python3, gcc, make, subversion, and tcsh. It also tries 
to download gcc-debuginfo by default, which is 100MB of .tar.xz 
goodness. I didn't download all of that to see what it decompresses to.

Heh... just noticed that OP is measuring things in "Gb" (!= "GB"). An 
odd measure for disk space to be sure, but 229MB does correspond to 
1.87Gb. Without python, the installed size drops to 1.05Gb, even 
including all the other packages the cygwin base-install pulls in.

Re: Optimized Cygwin package

[Kptain]

Thanks all for your fast replies!

Probably I've missed something after package selection to prevent loader to
include useless packages.

I'll restart from scratch a new selection expecting to reach something like
400MB.
Please note that packages representing biggest size are located from
/usr/share folders (total 1.2Gb)

Except for some specific C compilations for which some errors could happen,
I've observed (for all others apps) when I rename shared folder that most of
the time all is working well,
But I don't want to work from a package from which potential links may be
broken

Best Regards,

FYI: The 32-bit version of doxygen is a little more interesting, as it 
has clang assisted parsing enabled. Hence 32-bit doxygen also pulls in 
libclang, along with whatever dependencies libclang requires.

Re: Optimized Cygwin package

[Kptain]

Thanks all!

Starting from scratch I've been able to generate a package around ONLY
463Mb.
It's more correct.
