I build my Emacs without ann GTK/X11 support. So no, not for me. But the GUI part has its dependencies, as has every gui program...
- LoganDark 4y agoWell, for me it seems to have tons and tons of... Lisp/Perl dependencies? I don't exactly remember what they were, but when I installed it on a bog-standard Ubuntu Server box, the list of dependencies filled my entire terminal.
- lynx23 4y agoMost of Emacs is written in Lisp. So calling Lisp a "dependency" just reveals that you dont have much of an idea what you are talking about. Thats OK, I ramble along sometimes as well... As said above, most of the dependencies you saw from Apt in Ubuntu were libraries from the GTK/X11/GUI ecosystem. I used to run my Emacs as PID 1, so frankly, the dependency problem isnt really a problem...
- LoganDark 4y ago> Most of Emacs is written in Lisp. Sure, Emacs uses Lisp with absolutely no packages/libraries at all. That is believable. > So calling Lisp a "dependency" just reveals that you dont have much of an idea what you are talking about. OK, bye, this is not any way to have a discussion.
