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

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,

Thanks all!

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