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 |
root |
1.57 |
the default configuration (i.e. no "--enable-xxx" or "--disable-xxx" |
5 |
|
|
switches). Of course, you should always report when a combination |
6 |
|
|
doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |

|
All |

|
10 |
|
|
--enable-everything |
11 |
root |
1.29 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
12 |
root |
1.64 |
"./configure --help", except for "--enable-assert". |
13 |
root |
1.29 |
|
14 |
|
|
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
15 |
|
|
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or |
16 |
|
|
you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
17 |
|
|
"--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." |
18 |
|
|
arguments you want. |

root |
1.16 |
|
20 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-xft (default: enabled) |
21 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
22 |
|
|
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
23 |
|
|
them, you don't pay for them. |
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-font-styles (default: on) |
26 |
root |
1.20 |
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
27 |
|
|
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
28 |
|
|
|
29 |
root |
1.29 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
30 |
root |
1.28 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", |
31 |
|
|
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character |
32 |
|
|
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, |
33 |
|
|
they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |
34 |
|
|
in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. |
35 |
|
|
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |
36 |
|
|
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a |
37 |
|
|
font requiring one of these encodings. |

root |
1.29 |
--enable-xim (default: on) |
46 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
47 |
|
|
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
48 |
|
|
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
51 |
root |
1.44 |
Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters. |
52 |
|
|
|
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 |
root |
1.55 |
to a few thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
61 |
root |
1.16 |
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 |
1.44 |
characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will |
73 |
|
|
be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
74 |
root |
1.24 |
|
75 |
|
|
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
76 |
|
|
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
77 |
root |
1.16 |
|
78 |
pcg |
1.10 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
79 |
root |
1.16 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
80 |
root |
1.24 |
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |
81 |
root |
1.16 |
|
82 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt) |
83 |
|
|
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS. |
84 |
|
|
To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
85 |
|
|
|
86 |
|
|
--with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
87 |
|
|
Use the given name as default application name when reading |
88 |
|
|
resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
89 |
|
|
|
90 |
root |
1.60 |
--with-res-class=CLASS (default: URxvt) |
91 |
root |
1.29 |
Use the given class as default application class when reading |
92 |
|
|
resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace rxvt. |
93 |
root |
1.16 |
|
94 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-utmp (default: on) |
95 |
root |
1.16 |
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start |
96 |
|
|
of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
97 |
|
|
|
98 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-wtmp (default: on) |
99 |
root |
1.16 |
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at |
100 |
|
|
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
101 |
|
|
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
102 |
|
|
|
103 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-lastlog (default: on) |
104 |
root |
1.16 |
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) |
105 |
|
|
at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to |
106 |
|
|
also be specified. |
107 |
|
|
|
108 |
root |
1.56 |
--enable-afterimage (default: on) |
109 |
|
|
Add support for libAfterImage to be used for transparency and |
110 |
|
|
background images. It adds support for many file formats including |
111 |
|
|
JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep |
112 |
|
|
image XML |
113 |
|
|
(<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>). |
114 |
|
|
|
115 |
|
|
This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the |
116 |
|
|
root background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of |
117 |
|
|
background images. |
118 |
|
|
|
119 |
root |
1.58 |
Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might |
120 |
root |
1.56 |
increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used |
121 |
|
|
(mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory |
122 |
|
|
footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured |
123 |
|
|
without support for SVG. |
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
root |
1.38 |
--enable-transparency (default: on) |
126 |
root |
1.58 |
Add support for backgrounds, creating illusion of transparency in |
127 |

1.16 |
|
155 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-frills (default: on) |
156 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
157 |
|
|
to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may |
158 |
|
|
want to disable this. |
159 |

--enable-iso14755 (default: on) |
198 |
root |
1.63 |
Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1)). Basic support |
199 |

|
|
|
213 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-slipwheeling (default: on) |
214 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
215 |
|
|
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
216 |
|
|
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
217 |
|
|
|
218 |
root |
1.56 |
--enable-smart-resize (default: off) |
219 |
|
|
Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep |
220 |
|
|
the window corner which is closest to a corner of the screen in a |
221 |
|
|
fixed position. |
222 |
root |
1.16 |

229 |
root |
1.44 |
--enable-perl (default: on) |
230 |
root |
1.63 |
Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage for |
231 |
|
|
more info on this feature, or the files in src/perl/ for the |
232 |
|
|
extensions that are installed by default. The perl interpreter that |
233 |
|
|
is used can be specified via the "PERL" environment variable when |
234 |
|
|
running configure. Even when compiled in, perl will *not* be |
235 |
|
|
initialised when all extensions have been disabled "-pe "" |
236 |
|
|
--perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to enable from a |
237 |
|
|
resource standpoint. |

|
239 |
root |
1.64 |
--enable-assert (default: off) |

247 |
|
|
Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", |
248 |
|
|
"urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt". |
249 |
|
|
|
250 |
|
|
--with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode) |
251 |
