alt Hacker NewsOn the last one: OP said they were trying to get it working for a musl toolchain, so the tarballs are probably not useful to them (I assume they're built for glibc).
Agreed on the others though. Why's it even installing ncurses, surely that's just expected to be on the system?
> Hey @rektide, @apaz-cli, we bundle all sysdeps to allow to ship self-contained packages that users can e.g. pip install. That's our basic default and it allows us to tightly control what we ship. For building, it should generally be possible to build without the bundled sysdeps in which case it is up to the user to make sure all dependencies are properly installed. As this is not our default we seemed to have missed some corner cases and there is more work needed to get back to allow builds with sysdeps disabled. I started #3538 but it will need more work in some other components to fully get you what you're asking with regards to system dependencies. Please not that we do not test with the unbundled, system provided dependencies but of course we want to give the community the freedom to build it that way.
