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 our graphics mode (see src/graphics)
47 add support for the original rxvt scrollbar
49 add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar
51 add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar
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 add support for greek keyboard
62 change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
63 your system uses this type of security
64 --disable-backspace-key
65 disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
68 disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
71 remove all resources checking
73 make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
74 version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
77 add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
78 various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
79 have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
80 to link in. (This has header problems on some Linux systems).
82 remove support for swap screen
84 add support for some lesser used features
86 add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows
87 --enable-keepscrolling
88 add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
89 the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow
91 add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5
93 add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
94 accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
95 requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
96 --enable-old-selection
97 remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that
99 --disable-new-selection
100 remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm
102 use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging
103 See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details
104 If you use either this or the next option, you may need to
105 edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to
107 You can only use either this option and the following (should
110 use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
111 See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details
112 --enable-smart-resize
113 add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size
114 via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the
115 rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen
117 add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours
118 --enable-cursor-blink
119 add support for a blinking cursor
120 --enable-pointer-blank
121 add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive
123 change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME
126 change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo
129 use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?)
130 --with-xpm-includes=DIR
131 look for the XPM includes in DIR
132 --with-xpm-library=DIR
133 look for the XPM library in DIR
135 not needed - define via --enable-xpm-background
