+ - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
+ If you want the old behaviour, try:
+ configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
percentage by 100-percentage.
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

+
+ All
--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.
+ Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in
+ "./configure --help".
+
+ You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by
+ *following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or
+ you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying
+ "--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..."
+ arguments you want.
- --enable-xft
+ --enable-xft (default: enabled)
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.
- --enable-font-styles
+ --enable-font-styles (default: on)
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The
fonts can be set manually or automatically.
- --with-codesets=NAME,...
+ --with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all)
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu",
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts,
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
kr korean encodings
- --enable-xim
+ --enable-xim (default: on)
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-unicode3 (default: off)
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
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
- --enable-combining
+ --enable-combining (default: on)
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
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to
be used (and tell me how these are 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.

- --enable-wtmp
+ --enable-wtmp (default: on)
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
+ --enable-lastlog (default: on)
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
+ --enable-xpm-background (default: off)
Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
- --enable-transparency

dynamic locale switching currently).
- --enable-rxvt-scroll
+ --enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on)
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
- --enable-next-scroll
+ --enable-next-scroll (default: on)

Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars.
- --enable-ttygid
+ --enable-ttygid (default: off)

+ --enable-iso14755 (default: on)

Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive.
- --with-name=NAME
