It’s the “–enable-gpm” option in the default configure line that requires that dependency.

I think only if you install the package from source all those dependencies are pulled in; otherwise, it’s just vim-runtime, gpm, and perl as others have mentioned.

They’re really useful when figuring out how to build certain packages.

You can easily add sth, what I removed. I probably stripped to much. ;)

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/vim/
Depends: gpm, perl, vim-runtime=7.3.138-1

When I want to make a package lighter, I get the PKGBUILD, run `makepkg -o`, enter the src directory and do: `./configure –help | less` and find what I can –disable to turn off dependencies.

The Arch ABS has a package for vim (which doesn’t even use X or the X libs) and a package for gvim (which needs gtk+), though both should use the same source package.
