All the X libraries can be seen in the output of:
ldd $(guix build graphviz |grep -v 'doc$')/lib/graphviz/libgvplugin_xlib.so
I haven’t checked but I suppose that’s used by ‘xdot’.
We can get an X11-free Graphviz like so:
diff --git a/gnu/packages/graphviz.scm b/gnu/packages/graphviz.scm
index 26ee96afd4..3a5d33e662 100644
--- a/gnu/packages/graphviz.scm
+++ b/gnu/packages/graphviz.scm
@@ -94,16 +94,12 @@ (define-public graphviz
(string-append extdir
"/libgv_guile.so"))))))))
(inputs
- (list libxrender
- libx11
- gts
+ (list gts
gd
guile-3.0 ;Guile bindings
- pango
fontconfig
freetype
libltdl
- libxaw
expat
libjpeg-turbo
libpng))
The closure size reduction is substantial:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix size graphviz | tail -1
total: 183.6 MiB
$ guix size graphviz | tail -1
total: 242.3 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But I suspect we’d still need the full-blown variant for things like
xdot.
