-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
- ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself,
- so it should generally be a working config. 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 support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure
- --help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order
- dependant. You can specify this and then disable options which this
- enables by *following* this with the appropriate commands.
-
- --enable-xft
- Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts
- are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use
- them, you don't pay for them.
-
- --with-codesets=NAME,...
- Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups. These
- codeset tables are currently only used for driving X11 core fonts,
- they are not required for Xft fonts. Compiling them in will make
- your binary bigger (together about 700kB), but it doesn't increase
- memory usage unless you use an X11 font requiring one of these
- encodings.
-
- all all available codeset groups
- cn common chinese encodings
- cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs
- jp common japanese encodings
- jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
- kr korean encodings
-
- --enable-xim
- Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
- alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set
- up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
-
- --enable-unicode3
- Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535
- (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements
- per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
- extra characters, but Xft does.
-
- Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
- even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited
- to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next
- switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
- (input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
-
- --enable-combining
- Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite
- characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where
- accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by
- using precomposited characters when available or creating new
- pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
-
- Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
- characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use
- the private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448).
- With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also
- enable storage of characters >65535.
-
- The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
- forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to
- be used.
-
- --enable-fallback(=CLASS)
- When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
- (default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use
- --disable-fallback.
-
- --with-res-name=NAME
- Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when
- reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
-
- --with-res-class=CLASS
- Use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
- when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
- rxvt.
-
- --enable-utmp
- Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start
- of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
-
- --enable-wtmp
- Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at
- start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
- option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
-
- --enable-lastlog
- Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin)
- at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to
- also be specified.
-
- --enable-xpm-background
- Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
-
- --enable-transparency
- Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
- transparency to the term.
-
- --enable-fading
- Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
-
- --enable-tinting
- Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds.
-
- --enable-menubar

- dynamic locale switching currently).
-
- --enable-rxvt-scroll
- Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
-
- --enable-next-scroll
- Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar.
-
- --enable-xterm-scroll
- Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar.
-
- --enable-plain-scroll
- Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is
- the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many
- years.
-
- --enable-half-shadow
- Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
- only applicable to rxvt scrollbars.
-
- --enable-ttygid
- Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your
- system uses this type of security.
-
- --disable-backspace-key
- Disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
- do it.
-
- --disable-delete-key
- Disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do
- it.
-
- --disable-resources
- Remove all resources checking.
-
- --enable-xgetdefault
- Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
- version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
- then ~/.Xresources.
-
- --enable-strings
- Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
- various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have
- been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link
- in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux
- systems).
-
- --disable-swapscreen
- Remove support for swap screen.
-
- --enable-frills
- Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice
- to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may
- want to disable this.
-
- --enable-iso14755
- Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1), or doc/rxvt.1.txt).

- mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.

- --enable-mousewheel
- Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
-
- --enable-slipwheeling
- Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via from
- hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the rxvt corner which
- is closest to a corner of the screen.
-
- --enable-256-color
- Add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours.
