Hi Anderson,
except the length limit of the command line , no.
See
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20031210-00/?p=41553
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/shell-experience/command-line-string-limitation
on Cygwin command line the limit is the first one on the CMD the limit
is the second.
If you need to install more the easy way is to split your requirements
in more block.
The last time I reinstalled 1500 packages, splitting between lib* and
the other packages was enough when
running setup from a Bash shell.
Regards
Marco
