Another curiosity..:
The number of MB sound about right, and when I checked about the same as
the Linux version ("Generic Linux binaries"). I tried installing the
Windows version and it takes almost half a gig..
On Linux you have dependencies, but do they make up for the difference (my
0.4.1 from a repository is only 101 MB installed)? My guess, that seems
wrong, is that if you do not use pure Julia code, and include C (or Fortran
source code) then you use the C compiler you can count on to be installed
on Linux. Am I wrong, since there is does not seem to be a dependency for a
full compiler (or is there not one as there should always be a compiler,
and dependencies are skipped?). What I only found:
libgcc1 132 kB
libgfortran3 1234 kB
Does the Windows build of Julia download more after/while running the
self-extracting executable? Such as a C compiler..?
