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>. |

--enable-everything |
11 |
root |
1.29 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
12 |
sf-exg |
1.66 |
"./configure --help", except for "--enable-assert" and |
13 |
|
|
"--enable-256-color". |
14 |
root |
1.29 |
|
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. |

1.16 |
|
21 |
sf-exg |
1.71 |
--enable-xft (default: on) |
22 |
root |
1.70 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliased, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
23 |
root |
1.16 |
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 |
sf-exg |
1.71 |
--with-codesets=CS,... (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 |
root |
1.89 |
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of them together |
37 |
|
|
cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you |
38 |
|
|
use a font requiring one of these encodings. |

--enable-xim (default: on) |
47 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
48 |
|
|
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
49 |
|
|
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
50 |

|
|
51 |
root |

--enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
52 |
root |
1.84 |
Recommended to stay off unless you really need a lot of non-BMP |
53 |
|
|
characters. |
54 |
root |
1.44 |
|
55 |
root |
1.84 |
Enable support for direct storage of unicode characters above 65535 |
56 |
root |
1.16 |
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
57 |
|
|
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
58 |
pcg |
1.10 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
59 |
root |
1.16 |
|
60 |
root |
1.84 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store and display unicode |
61 |
|
|
characters above 65535 even without this flag, but the number of |
62 |
|
|
such characters is limited to a few thousand (shared with combining |
63 |
|
|
characters, see next switch). |
64 |
root |
1.16 |
|
65 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-combining (default: on) |
66 |
root |
1.16 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
67 |
|
|
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
68 |
root |
1.65 |
accents are encoded as separate unicode characters. This is done by |
69 |
sf-exg |
1.71 |
using precomposed characters when available or creating new |
70 |
root |
1.16 |
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
73 |
root |
1.44 |
characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will |
74 |
|
|
be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
75 |
root |
1.24 |
|
76 |
|
|
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
77 |
|
|
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
78 |
root |
1.16 |
|
79 |

The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
80 |
root |
1.16 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
81 |
root |
1.24 |
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |

|
83 |
sf-exg |

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) |

Add support for GDK-PixBuf to be used for background images. It adds |
97 |
|
|
support for many file formats including JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, |
98 |
|
|
BMP, ICO and TGA. |
99 |
|

100 |
sf-exg |
1.73 |
--enable-startup-notification (default: on) |
101 |
|
|
Add support for freedesktop startup notifications. This allows |
102 |
|
|
window managers to display some kind of progress indicator during |
103 |
|
|
startup. |
104 |
|

1.68 |
Add support for using the root pixmap as background to simulate |
107 |

108 |
|
|
the availability of the RENDER extension in the X server. |

--disable-backspace-key |
123 |
root |

125 |
|
|
|
126 |

Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
138 |

to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may |
139 |
|
|
want to disable this. |

Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see urxvt(1)). Basic support |
186 |
root |
1.63 |

199 |
|
|
|
200 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-slipwheeling (default: on) |
201 |
root |
1.16 |
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
202 |
|
|
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
203 |
|
|
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
204 |
|
|
|
205 |
root |
1.56 |
--enable-smart-resize (default: off) |
206 |
|
|
Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep |
207 |
|
|
the window corner which is closest to a corner of the screen in a |
208 |
|
|
fixed position. |
209 |
root |
1.16 |

|
|
|
213 |
root |
1.29 |
--enable-pointer-blank (default: on) |
214 |

Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive. |
215 |
|
|
|
216 |
root |
1.44 |
--enable-perl (default: on) |
217 |
root |
1.89 |
Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the urxvtperl(3) manpage |
218 |
|
|
for more info on this feature, or the files in src/perl/ for the |
219 |
root |
1.63 |
extensions that are installed by default. The perl interpreter that |
220 |
|
|
is used can be specified via the "PERL" environment variable when |
221 |
|
|
running configure. Even when compiled in, perl will *not* be |
222 |
|
|
initialised when all extensions have been disabled "-pe "" |
223 |
|
|
--perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to enable from a |
224 |
|
|
resource standpoint. |
225 |
root |
1.35 |
|
226 |
root |
1.64 |
--enable-assert (default: off) |
227 |
|
|
Enables the assertions in the code, normally disabled. This switch |
228 |
|
|
is only useful when developing rxvt-unicode. |
229 |
|
|
|
230 |
sf-exg |
1.66 |
--enable-256-color (default: off) |
231 |
|
|
Force use of so-called 256 colour mode, to work around buggy |
232 |
|
|
applications that do not support termcap/terminfo, or simply improve |
233 |
|
|
support for applications hardcoding the xterm 256 colour table. |
234 |
|
|
|
235 |
|
|
This switch breaks termcap/terminfo compatibility to |
236 |
|
|
"TERM=rxvt-unicode", and consequently sets "TERM" to |
237 |
|
|
"rxvt-unicode-256color" by default (doc/etc/ contains |
238 |
|
|
termcap/terminfo definitions for both). |
239 |
|
|
|
240 |
root |
1.89 |
It also results in higher memory usage and can slow down urxvt |
241 |
sf-exg |
1.66 |
dramatically when more than six fonts are in use by a terminal |
242 |
|
|
instance. |
243 |
|
|
|
244 |
root |
1.29 |
--with-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
245 |
|
|
Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", |
246 |
|
|
"urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt". |
247 |
|
|
|
248 |
|
|
--with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode) |
249 |
root |
1.89 |
Sets the default "TERM" value that urxvt sets. The default is either |
250 |
root |
1.86 |
"rxvt-unicode" or "rxvt-unicode-256color", as appropriate. |
251 |
root |
1.16 |
|
252 |
|
|
--with-terminfo=PATH |
253 |
root |
1.89 |
If set, urxvt will set the environment variable "TERMINFO" to the |
254 |
root |
1.86 |
given PATH, which can be useful as a last resort if installing the |
255 |
|
|
terminfo entries system-wide is not possible. |
256 |
root |
1.16 |
|
257 |
|
|
--with-x |
258 |
|
|
Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?). |
259 |
|
|
|
