CONFIGURE OPTIONS |
2 |
|
|
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
3 |
root |
1.29 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with "--enable-everything" or use |
4 |
|
|
the ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by |
5 |
|
|
myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you |
6 |
|
|
should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be |
7 |
|
|
fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |

1.16 |

11 |

--enable-everything |
12 |
root |
1.29 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
13 |
|
|
"./configure --help". |
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
16 |
|
|
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or |
17 |
|
|
you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
18 |
|
|
"--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." |
19 |
|
|
arguments you want. |

--enable-xft (default: enabled) |
22 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
23 |
|
|
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
24 |
|
|
them, you don't pay for them. |
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-font-styles (default: on) |
27 |
root |
1.20 |
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
28 |
|
|
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
root |
1.29 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
31 |
root |
1.28 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", |
32 |
|
|
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character |
33 |
|
|
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, |
34 |
|
|
they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |
35 |
|
|
in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. |
36 |
|
|
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |
37 |
|
|
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a |
38 |
|
|
font requiring one of these encodings. |

--enable-xim (default: on) |
48 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
49 |
|
|
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
50 |
|
|
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
51 |
|
|
|
52 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
53 |
root |
1.16 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
54 |
|
|
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
55 |
|
|
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
56 |
pcg |
1.10 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
57 |
root |
1.16 |
|
58 |
|
|
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
59 |
|
|
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
60 |
|
|
to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
61 |
|
|
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
62 |
|
|
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-combining (default: on) |
65 |
root |
1.16 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
66 |
|
|
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
67 |
|
|
accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
68 |
|
|
using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
69 |
|
|
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
72 |
root |
1.24 |
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt-unicode |
73 |
|
|
will use the private use area, extending the number of combinations |
74 |
|
|
to 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
|
|
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
77 |
|
|
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |

The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
80 |

81 |

be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |

--enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt) |
84 |
|
|
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS. |
85 |
|
|
To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
|
|
--with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
88 |
|

Use the given name as default application name when reading |
89 |

resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
90 |
|
|
|
91 |

--with-res-class=CLASS /default: URxvt) |

|
99 |
root |

--enable-wtmp (default: on) |
100 |
root |
1.16 |
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at |
101 |
|
|
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
102 |
|
|
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |

126 |
|
|
dynamic locale switching currently). |

128 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on) |

Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is |
139 |
|
|
the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many |
140 |
|
|
years. |
141 |

142 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-half-shadow (default: off) |
143 |
root |
1.16 |

144 |
|
|
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars. |

146 |
root |

--enable-ttygid (default: off) |
147 |

Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your |
148 |
|
|
system uses this type of security. |
149 |
|
|
|
150 |

|
--disable-backspace-key |
151 |
root |
1.29 |

154 |

--disable-delete-key |
155 |
root |

Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do |

160 |
root |
1.16 |
|
161 |
|
|
--enable-xgetdefault |
162 |
|
|
Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small |
163 |
|
|
version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist |
164 |
|
|
then ~/.Xresources. |
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
root |
1.23 |
Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull |
167 |
|
|
in and use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it |
168 |
|
|
might be very small, if nonexistant. |

Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
172 |

|
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have |
173 |
|
|
been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link |
174 |
|
|
in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux |
175 |
|
|
systems). |
176 |

--disable-swapscreen |

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 |
183 |

want to disable this. |

Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
216 |
|
|
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
217 |

requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
218 |

Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm. |

--enable-dmalloc (default: off) |
223 |
root |
1.16 |
Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See |
224 |
|
|
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this |
225 |
|
|
or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after |
226 |
|
|
compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places. |
227 |
|
|
|
228 |
|
|
You can only use either this option and the following (should you |
229 |
|
|
use either) . |

231 |
root |
1.29 |

Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via from |

is closest to a corner of the screen. |

Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", |
