Emacs 310MB?

[geekofhearts]

Hiya,

Sorry, I'm an Arch noob as well as a Pi noob (it arrived today, and I want to play while waiting for the bigger SD card to arrive..)

I'd like to use arch for a small CLI OS with a few dev tools on it. e.g. I'd like to mess around in Lisp. It's pretty standard to get emacs, slime, and a common lisp implementation going for this sort of thing.

However, when I try and install emacs with

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -S emacs')

I get 79 packages to install, totaling 310MB of space. Seriously? For a CLI editor? I am assuming from packages that include

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'gtk-update-icon-cache gtk3 imagemagick libjpeg-turbo libpng libtiff libx11')

and so on that this is installing emacs with full GUI support, which I obviously don't need.

What is the package, or command switch for pacman, or whatever to install only the CLI interface for emacs? If there isn't one, can someone with more ARM chops tell me whether its going to be a nightmare building a custom emacs from source?

I'd like to point out Upstream takes care of this package.

I'm a little late here but there is a emacs-nox which stands for no X-server. Total installed size is 96MB.
