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 |
4 |
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 |
9 |
|
10 |
--enable-everything |
11 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
12 |
"./configure --help", except for "--enable-assert" and |
13 |
"--enable-256-color". |
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. |
20 |
|
21 |
--enable-xft (default: on) |
22 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliased, 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 |
--enable-font-styles (default: on) |
27 |
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
28 |
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
29 |
|
30 |
--with-codesets=CS,... (default: all) |
31 |
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. |
39 |
|
40 |
all all available codeset groups |
41 |
zh common chinese encodings |
42 |
zh_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodings |
43 |
jp common japanese encodings |
44 |
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings |
45 |
kr korean encodings |
46 |
--enable-xim (default: on) |
47 |
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 |
--enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
52 |
Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters. |
53 |
|
54 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
55 |
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
56 |
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
57 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
58 |
|
59 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
60 |
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
61 |
to a few thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
62 |
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
63 |
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
64 |
|
65 |
--enable-combining (default: on) |
66 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
67 |
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
68 |
accents are encoded as separate unicode characters. This is done by |
69 |
using precomposed characters when available or creating new |
70 |
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
71 |
|
72 |
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
73 |
characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will |
74 |
be (ab-)used). 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. |
78 |
|
79 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
80 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
81 |
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |
82 |
|
83 |
--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) |
92 |
Use the given class as default application class when reading |
93 |
resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace rxvt. |
94 |
|
95 |
--enable-utmp (default: on) |
96 |
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start |
97 |
of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
98 |
|
99 |
--enable-wtmp (default: on) |
100 |
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. |
103 |
|
104 |
--enable-lastlog (default: on) |
105 |
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) |
106 |
at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to |
107 |
also be specified. |
108 |
|
109 |
--enable-afterimage (default: on) |
110 |
Add support for libAfterImage to be used for background images. It |
111 |
adds support for many file formats including JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, |
112 |
GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep image XML |
113 |
(<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>). |
114 |
|
115 |
Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might |
116 |
increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used |
117 |
(mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory |
118 |
footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured |
119 |
without support for SVG. |
120 |
|
121 |
--enable-pixbuf (default: on) |
122 |
Add support for GDK-PixBuf to be used for background images. It adds |
123 |
support for many file formats including JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, |
124 |
BMP, ICO and TGA. |
125 |
|
126 |
--enable-transparency (default: on) |
127 |
Add support for using the root pixmap as background to simulate |
128 |
transparency. Note that blur and blend effects depend on |
129 |
libAfterImage or on libXrender and on the availability of the RENDER |
130 |
extension in the X server. |
131 |
|
132 |
--enable-fading (default: on) |
133 |
Add support for fading the text when focus is lost. |
134 |
|
135 |
--enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on) |
136 |
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar. |
137 |
|
138 |
--enable-next-scroll (default: on) |
139 |
Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar. |
140 |
|
141 |
--enable-xterm-scroll (default: on) |
142 |
Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar. |
143 |
|
144 |
--disable-backspace-key |
145 |
Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server |
146 |
do it. |
147 |
|
148 |
--disable-delete-key |
149 |
Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do |
150 |
it. |
151 |
|
152 |
--disable-resources |
153 |
Removes any support for resource checking. |
154 |
|
155 |
--disable-swapscreen |
156 |
Remove support for secondary/swap screen. |
157 |
|
158 |
--enable-frills (default: on) |
159 |
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
160 |
to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may |
161 |
want to disable this. |
162 |
|
163 |
A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills" |
164 |
(possibly in combination with other switches) is: |
165 |
|
166 |
MWM-hints |
167 |
EWMH-hints (pid, utf8 names) and protocols (ping) |
168 |
urgency hint |
169 |
separate underline colour (-underlineColor) |
170 |
settable border widths and borderless switch (-w, -b, -bl) |
171 |
visual depth selection (-depth) |
172 |
settable extra linespacing (-lsp) |
173 |
iso-14755 5.1 (basic) support |
174 |
tripleclickwords (-tcw) |
175 |
settable insecure mode (-insecure) |
176 |

178 |
XEmbed support (-embed) |
179 |
user-pty (-pty-fd) |
180 |
hold on exit (-hold) |
181 |
compile in built-in block graphics |
182 |
skip builtin block graphics (-sbg) |
183 |
separate highlight colour (-highlightColor, -highlightTextColor) |
184 |
extended mouse reporting modes (1005 and 1015). |
185 |
|
186 |
It also enables some non-essential features otherwise disabled, such |
187 |
as: |
188 |
|
189 |
some round-trip time optimisations |
190 |
nearest colour allocation on pseudocolor screens |
191 |
UTF8_STRING support for selection |
192 |
sgr modes 90..97 and 100..107 |
193 |
backindex and forwardindex escape sequences |
194 |
view change/zero scrollback escape sequences |
195 |
locale switching escape sequence |
196 |
window op and some xterm/OSC escape sequences |
197 |
rectangular selections |
198 |
trailing space removal for selections |
199 |
verbose X error handling |
200 |
|
201 |
--enable-iso14755 (default: on) |
202 |
Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1)). Basic support |
203 |
(section 5.1) is enabled by "--enable-frills", while support for |
204 |
5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch. |
205 |
|
206 |
--enable-keepscrolling (default: on) |
207 |
Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the |
208 |
mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow. |
209 |
|
210 |
--enable-selectionscrolling (default: on) |
211 |
Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or |
212 |
bottom of the screen. |
213 |
|
214 |
--enable-mousewheel (default: on) |
215 |
Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5. |
216 |
|
217 |
--enable-slipwheeling (default: on) |
218 |
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
219 |
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
220 |
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
221 |
|
222 |
--enable-smart-resize (default: off) |
223 |
Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep |
224 |
the window corner which is closest to a corner of the screen in a |
225 |
fixed position. |
226 |
|
227 |
--enable-text-blink (default: on) |
228 |
Add support for blinking text. |
229 |
|
230 |
--enable-pointer-blank (default: on) |
231 |
Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive. |
232 |
|
233 |
--enable-perl (default: on) |
234 |
Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage for |
235 |
more info on this feature, or the files in src/perl/ for the |
236 |
extensions that are installed by default. The perl interpreter that |
237 |
is used can be specified via the "PERL" environment variable when |
238 |
running configure. Even when compiled in, perl will *not* be |
239 |
initialised when all extensions have been disabled "-pe "" |
240 |
--perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to enable from a |
241 |
resource standpoint. |
242 |
|
243 |
--enable-assert (default: off) |
244 |
Enables the assertions in the code, normally disabled. This switch |
245 |
is only useful when developing rxvt-unicode. |
246 |
|
247 |
--enable-256-color (default: off) |
248 |
Force use of so-called 256 colour mode, to work around buggy |
249 |
applications that do not support termcap/terminfo, or simply improve |
250 |
support for applications hardcoding the xterm 256 colour table. |
251 |
|
252 |
This switch breaks termcap/terminfo compatibility to |
253 |
"TERM=rxvt-unicode", and consequently sets "TERM" to |
254 |
"rxvt-unicode-256color" by default (doc/etc/ contains |
255 |
termcap/terminfo definitions for both). |
256 |
|
257 |
It also results in higher memory usage and can slow down rxvt |
258 |
dramatically when more than six fonts are in use by a terminal |
259 |
instance. |
260 |
|
261 |
--with-afterimage-config=DIR |
262 |
Look for the libAfterImage config script in DIR. |
263 |
|
264 |
--with-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
265 |
Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", |
266 |
"urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt". |
267 |
|
268 |
--with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode) |
269 |
Change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME. |
270 |
|
271 |
--with-terminfo=PATH |
272 |
Change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo tree |
273 |
to PATH. |
274 |
|
275 |
--with-x |
276 |
Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?). |
277 |
|
