- new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
- go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
/usr/X11R6/lib.
How do I compile the manual pages on my own?
You need to have a recent version of perl installed as /usr/bin/perl,
- one that comes with pod2man, pod2text and pod2xhtml (from Pod::XHTML).

Then go to the doc subdirectory and enter "make alldoc".
Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?
main(), or things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should
result in very little risk.
- On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide.
- Seems to be a known bug, read
- <http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the
- following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working:
-
- #define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x)
-
I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all.
Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol "__STDC_ISO_10646__" to be defined in
your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it,
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry
complete replacements for them :)
- I use Solaris 9 and it doesn't compile/work/etc.
- Try the diff in doc/solaris9.patch as a base. It fixes the worst
- problems with "wcwidth" and a compile problem.

How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?
rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using the
X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no longer
multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are
likely limited to 8-bit encodings.
+ Character widths are not correct.
+ urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about the
+ width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you will
+ likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9, where
+ single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width, and
+ Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
+
+ The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
+ possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like
+
+ http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c
+
--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
+ background images. It adds support for many file formats including
+ JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep
+ image XML
+ (<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>).
+
+ 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)
Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
transparency to the term.
--enable-fading (default: on)
- Add support for fading the text when focus is lost (requires
- "--enable-transparency").

mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.

+ bottom of the screen.
+
--enable-mousewheel (default: on)
Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
- --disable-new-selection
- Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
-
- --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) .
-
- --enable-dlmalloc (default: off)
- Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version See
- <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.
-
- --enable-smart-resize (default: on)
- Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via hot
- keys. This should keep the window corner which is closest to a
- corner of the screen in a fixed position.
+ --enable-smart-resize (default: off)
+ Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep

enable from a resource standpoint.
+ --with-afterimage-config=DIR
+ Look for the libAfterImage config script in DIR.
+
--with-name=NAME (default: urxvt)
Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt",
"urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt".
