We're currently installing cython with pip when using Ubuntu
to cross compile Ceph for Windows. This can fail with recent
Python versions if attempting to use the global env:
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
Cython isn't really needed by the Windows build so we can go
ahead and drop it. We were hoping to use the Python bindings
on Windows, however Python extensions can't be cross compiled.
We're no longer using pip either, so we're dropping the dependency.
g++ was getting installed as a pip dependency, so we'll have to
include that instead. Note that g++ is used when building the boost
b2 tool.
While at it, we'll also ensure that git is installed.
