2 add support for all enable options marked with an asterisk listed
3 in "./configure --help". Note that unlike other enable options this
4 is order dependant. You can specify this and then disable options
5 which this enables by _following_ this with the appropriate
8 add support for xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. xft fonts are
9 slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them,
10 you don't pay for them.
11 --with-codesets=NAME,...
12 compile in support for additional codeset groups:
13 jp common japanese encodings
14 jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
16 cn common chinese encodings
17 cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs
18 vn vietnamese (not well-supported, though)
21 enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
22 multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per character
23 from 2 to 4 bytes and is not too useful as font support in X11 and Xft
24 is largely missing, although cut & paste will work correctly, as will
25 displaying, if you have the right font(s).
27 write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like ``w'') at
28 start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
30 write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like ``last'') at
31 start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
32 option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
34 write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like
35 ``lastlogin'') at start of rxvt execution. This option requires
36 --enable-utmp to also be specified.
37 --enable-xpm-background
38 add support for XPM background pixmaps
40 add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
41 transparency to the term
43 add support for our menu bar system
45 add support for the original rxvt scrollbar
47 add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar
49 add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar
51 add support for a very plain-looking scrollbar that I used for many years
53 make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
54 only applicable to rxvt scrollbars
56 add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
57 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
58 set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
60 change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
61 your system uses this type of security
62 --disable-backspace-key
63 disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
66 disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
69 remove all resources checking
71 make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
72 version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
75 add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
76 various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
77 have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
78 to link in. (This has header problems on some Linux systems).
80 remove support for swap screen
82 add support for some lesser used features
84 add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows
85 --enable-keepscrolling
86 add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
87 the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow
89 add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5
91 add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
92 accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
93 requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
94 --enable-old-selection
95 remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that
97 --disable-new-selection
98 remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm
100 use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging
101 See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details
102 If you use either this or the next option, you may need to
103 edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to
105 You can only use either this option and the following (should
108 use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
109 See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details
110 --enable-smart-resize
111 add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size
112 via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the
113 rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen
115 add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours
116 --enable-cursor-blink
117 add support for a blinking cursor
118 --enable-pointer-blank
119 add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive
121 change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME
124 change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo
127 use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?)
128 --with-xpm-includes=DIR
129 look for the XPM includes in DIR
130 --with-xpm-library=DIR
131 look for the XPM library in DIR
133 not needed - define via --enable-xpm-background
