[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Use our generated GTK bundle for travis (#1072)

[Enrico Tröger]

 du -chs */*.a for:
Geany's dependency bundle: 27 MB
Plugins' dependency bundle: 84 MB
I wouldn't call this that small.

Anyway, I still don't get the point shipping all those files is necessary for plugin developers. We have the howto on how to set up a full development environment on Windows. This is at least partially necessary to get a working toolchain. And at this point, building Geany from source is probably more easy than to fiddle with API/ABI compability of a binary Geany release, IMO.

Is this a real world use case or just a thought what users/plugin developers might do?
I personally would expect that people who are actually taking the pain to set up MSYS2 and everything around on Windows, are also willing to compile Geany from source which is way easier than building the plugins.
