You can use "git clone --depth 1" to get just the latest revision. Most of the space is taken by the files, though, not the history. Depth-1 clone takes 178 MB and full clone 371 MB (all the way to year 1985). > I use xfce and I believe I don't have Gnome libs installed I think. > Would that require any changes to the configure option above? I'm not sure what you mean. Emacs supports these toolkits: --with-x-toolkit=KIT use an X toolkit (KIT one of: yes or gtk, gtk2, gtk3, lucid or athena, motif, no) (See configure --help) I use libgtk2.0-dev (for GTK2) but those who prefer GTK3 would install libgtk-3-dev instead. The "configure" script will detect what you have installed. See its output.
