That's hard to say... The port's description says there are no options to configure, so I'd guess you cannot get rid of the X dependencies (if you don't use X). I've been using swi-pl in the past, and most of the dependencies will be present on an average desktop installation anyway. If you are using "pkg install" to install swi-pl, it will deal with the dependencies automatically. You will receive the runtime and the library dependencies only (no build dependencies required for binary installation). According to the list at https://www.freshports.org/lang/swi-pl/ it's not _that_ much additional stuff. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
