CONFIGURE OPTIONS |
2 |
|
|
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
3 |
|
|
hasn't been tested well. Either try with --enable-everything or use the |
4 |
|
|
./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself, |
5 |
|
|
so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always |
6 |
|
|
report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann |

<rxvt@schmorp.de>. |
8 |
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
--enable-everything |
10 |
|
|
Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure |
11 |
|
|
--help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order |
12 |
|
|
dependant. You can specify this and then disable options which this |
13 |
|
|
enables by *following* this with the appropriate commands. |
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
--enable-xft |
16 |
|
|
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
17 |
|
|
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
18 |
|
|
them, you don't pay for them. |
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
root |
1.20 |
--enable-font-styles |
21 |
|
|
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
22 |
|
|
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
root |
1.16 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... |
25 |
root |
1.20 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (eu, vn |
26 |
|
|
are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). |
27 |
|
|
These codeset tables are currently only used for driving X11 core |
28 |
|
|
fonts, they are not required for Xft fonts. Compiling them in will |
29 |
|
|
make your binary bigger (together about 700kB), but it doesn't |
30 |
|
|
increase memory usage unless you use an X11 font requiring one of |
31 |
|
|
these encodings. |

|
|
--enable-xim |
41 |
|
|
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
42 |
|
|
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
43 |
|
|
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
|
|
--enable-unicode3 |
46 |
|
|
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
47 |
|
|
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
48 |
|
|
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
49 |
pcg |
1.10 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
50 |
root |
1.16 |
|
51 |
|
|
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
52 |
|
|
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
53 |
|
|
to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
54 |
|
|
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
55 |
|
|
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
56 |
|
|
|
57 |
|
|
--enable-combining |
58 |
|
|
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
59 |
|
|
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
60 |
|
|
accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
61 |
|
|
using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
62 |
|
|
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
|
|
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
65 |
root |
1.24 |
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt-unicode |
66 |
|
|
will use the private use area, extending the number of combinations |
67 |
|
|
to 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
|
|
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
70 |
|
|
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |

--enable-fallback(=CLASS) |
77 |
|

78 |
|
|
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use |
79 |
|
|
--disable-fallback. |
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
|
|
--with-res-name=NAME |
82 |
|
|
Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when |
83 |
|
|
reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
84 |
|
|

|
|
94 |
|
|
--enable-wtmp |
95 |
|
|
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at |
96 |

start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
97 |
|
|
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |

99 |
|
|
--enable-lastlog |
100 |
|
|
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) |

|
dynamic locale switching currently). |

--enable-plain-scroll |
131 |
|
|
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is |
132 |
|
|
the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many |

|
|
135 |
|
|
--enable-half-shadow |
136 |

Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height. |
137 |
|
|
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars. |
138 |

139 |
|
|
--enable-ttygid |
140 |
|
|
Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your |
141 |
|
|
system uses this type of security. |
142 |

143 |
|
|
--disable-backspace-key |
144 |
|
|
Disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server |

Remove all resources checking. |
153 |
|
|
|
154 |
|
|
--enable-xgetdefault |
155 |
|
|
Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small |

157 |
|

then ~/.Xresources. |
158 |

|
|
159 |
root |
1.23 |
Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull |
160 |
|
|
in and use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it |
161 |
|
|
might be very small, if nonexistant. |

163 |
root |
1.16 |
--enable-strings |
164 |
|
|
Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
165 |
|
|
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have |
166 |
|
|
been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link |
167 |
|
|
in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux |
168 |
|
|
systems). |
169 |
|
|
|
170 |
|
|
--disable-swapscreen |
171 |

|
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
208 |

--enable-dmalloc |
215 |
|
|
Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See |
216 |
|
|
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this |
217 |
|
|
or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after |
218 |
|
|
compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places. |
219 |
|
|
|
220 |
|
|

--enable-smart-resize |
228 |
|
|
Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via from |

Set the basename for the installed binaries (default: "urxvt", |

replace with "rxvt". |
