CONFIGURE OPTIONS
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
hasn't been tested well. Either try with "--enable-everything" or use
- the default configuration (i.e. "--enable-xxx" or "--disable-xxx"). Of
- course, you should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it
- can be fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>.

--enable-everything
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in
- "./configure --help".
+ "./configure --help", except for "--enable-assert".
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a
font requiring one of these encodings.

Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set

also be specified.
- --enable-xpm-background (default: on)
- Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
+ --enable-afterimage (default: on)
+ Add support for libAfterImage to be used for transparency and

+
+ This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the
+ root background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of
+ background images.
+
+ Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might
+ increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used
+ (mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory
+ footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured
+ without support for SVG.
--enable-transparency (default: on)

--enable-iso14755 (default: on)

- --disable-new-selection
- Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
+ --enable-smart-resize (default: off)
+ Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep
+ the window corner which is closest to a corner of the screen in a
+ fixed position.
- --enable-dmalloc (default: off)
- Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
- <http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/> for details If you use either this
- or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after
- compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places.
-
- You can only use either this option and the following (should you
- use either) .

- perl interpreter that is used can be specified via the "PERL"
- environment variable when running configure. Even when compiled in,
- perl will *not* be initialised when all extensions have been
- disabled "-pe "" --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to
- enable from a resource standpoint.
