Yeah, but this seems like something I might be able to do. Like I'd
have to study setup for a day or two before even knowing where to
start, but as of now my guess is: if setup -q --some-option cygwin,
then cygwin installs packages.
So something like --build-tools, --dumper-utilities,
--cygwin-utilities, --documentation?
For example:
setup --build-tools cygwin
then setup would rerun, and make a call using:
`setup -q -P autoconf,automake,cocom,gcc-g++,git,libtool,make,patch,perl`
If so, then can I get a clue as to where to begin?
Source package summary build-depends, for example:
$ lynx -dump -nolist https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/cygwin-src.html | \
awk '/build-depends:/,/\):$/'
build-depends:
autoconf, automake, cocom, cygport, dblatex, dejagnu, docbook-xml45,
docbook-xsl, docbook2X, gcc-g++, gettext-devel, libiconv,
libiconv-devel, libzstd-devel, make, mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++,
mingw64-x86_64-zlib, patch, perl, python39-lxml, python39-ply,
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended,
texlive-collection-latexrecommended, texlive-collection-pictures,
xmlto, zlib-devel
install package(s):
or setup.ini cygwin build-depends, for example:
$ apt-cyg show cygwin | grep '^build-depends:\s' | sort -u
build-depends: autoconf, automake, cocom, cygport, dblatex, dejagnu,
docbook-xml45, docbook-xsl, docbook2X, gcc-g++, gettext-devel, libiconv,
libiconv-devel, libzstd-devel, make, mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++,
mingw64-x86_64-zlib, patch, perl, python39-lxml, python39-ply,
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended, texlive-collection-latexrecommended,
texlive-collection-pictures, xmlto, zlib-devel
or awk setup.ini equivalent.
