1 | 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>. |
|
|
7 | |
|
|
8 | All |
|
|
9 | |
1 | --enable-everything |
10 | --enable-everything |
2 | add support for all enable options marked with an asterisk listed |
11 | Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
3 | in "./configure --help". Note that unlike other enable options this |
12 | "./configure --help". |
4 | is order dependant. You can specify this and then disable options |
13 | |
5 | which this enables by _following_ this with the appropriate |
14 | You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
6 | commands. |
15 | *following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or |
7 | --enable-languages |
16 | you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
8 | add support for languages which require multiple character glyphs |
17 | "--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." |
9 | to display. |
18 | arguments you want. |
10 | --with-encoding=NAME |
19 | |
11 | set the default encoding for multi-char glyph languages to NAME. |
20 | --enable-xft (default: enabled) |
12 | Options are: "eucj" EUC Japanese encoding; "sjis" Shift JIS encoding; |
21 | Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
13 | "big5" BIG5 encoding; "gb" GB encoding; "kr" EUC Korean encoding; |
22 | are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
14 | "noenc" no encoding. This option requires --enable-languages to |
23 | them, you don't pay for them. |
15 | also be specified. |
24 | |
16 | --enable-utmp |
25 | --enable-font-styles (default: on) |
|
|
26 | Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
|
|
27 | fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
|
|
28 | |
|
|
29 | --with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
|
|
30 | 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. |
|
|
38 | |
|
|
39 | all all available codeset groups |
|
|
40 | zh common chinese encodings |
|
|
41 | zh_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodings |
|
|
42 | jp common japanese encodings |
|
|
43 | jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings |
|
|
44 | kr korean encodings |
|
|
45 | |
|
|
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 seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
|
|
69 | using precomposited 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) |
17 | write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like ``w'') at |
96 | Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start |

|
99 | --enable-wtmp (default: on) |
20 | write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like ``last'') at |
100 | Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at |
21 | start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |

22 | option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
102 | option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
23 | --enable-lastlog |
103 | |

104 | --enable-lastlog (default: on) |
24 | write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like |
105 | Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) |
25 | ``lastlogin'') at start of rxvt execution. This option requires |

107 | also be specified. |
27 | --enable-xpm-background |
108 | |
28 | add support for XPM background pixmaps |
109 | --enable-afterimage (default: on) |
29 | --enable-transparency |
110 | Add support for libAfterImage to be used for transparency and |
30 | add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake |
111 | background images. It adds support for many file formats including |
31 | transparency to the term |
112 | JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep |
32 | --enable-menubar |
113 | image XML |
33 | add support for our menu bar system |
114 | (<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>). |
34 | --enable-graphics |
115 | |
35 | add support for our graphics mode (see src/graphics) |
116 | This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the |
36 | --enable-rxvt-scroll |
117 | root background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of |
|
|
118 | background images. |
|
|
119 | |
|
|
120 | Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might |
|
|
121 | increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used |
|
|
122 | (mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory |
|
|
123 | footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured |
|
|
124 | without support for SVG. |
|
|
125 | |
|
|
126 | --enable-transparency (default: on) |
|
|
127 | Add support for backgrounds, creating illusion of transparency in |
|
|
128 | the term. |
|
|
129 | |
|
|
130 | --enable-fading (default: on) |
|
|
131 | Add support for fading the text when focus is lost. |
|
|
132 | |
|
|
133 | --enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on) |

44 | only applicable to rxvt scrollbars |
143 | Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is |
45 | --enable-xim |
144 | the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many |
46 | add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
145 | years. |
47 | alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly |
146 | |
48 | set up the input for people using dead keys. |
147 | --enable-ttygid (default: off) |

63 | make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small |
|
|
64 | version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist |
|
|
65 | then ~/.Xresources |
|
|
66 | --enable-strings |
|
|
67 | add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
|
|
68 | various routines, overriding your system's versions which may |
|
|
69 | have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries |
|
|

192 | It also enables some non-essential features otherwise disabled, such |
|
|
193 | as: |

227 | |
87 | remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that |
228 | --enable-smart-resize (default: off) |
88 | of v2.20 (and prior) |
229 | Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep |
89 | --disable-new-selection |
|
|
90 | remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm |
|
|
91 | --enable-dmalloc |
|
|
92 | use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging |
|
|
93 | See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details |
|
|
94 | If you use either this or the next option, you may need to |
|
|
95 | edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to |
|
|
96 | the right places. |
|
|
97 | You can only use either this option and the following (should |
|
|
98 | you use either) |
|
|
99 | --enable-dlmalloc |
|
|
100 | use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version |

101 | See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details |
|
|
102 | --enable-smart-resize |
|
|
103 | add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size |
|
|
104 | via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the |
|
|
105 | rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen |

|
|
237 | Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage |
|
|
238 | (doc/rxvtperl.txt) for more info on this feature, or the files in |
|
|
239 | src/perl-ext/ for the extensions that are installed by default. The |
|
|
240 | perl interpreter that is used can be specified via the "PERL" |
|
|
241 | environment variable when running configure. Even when compiled in, |
|
|
242 | perl will *not* be initialised when all extensions have been |
|
|
243 | disabled "-pe "" --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to |
|
|
244 | enable from a resource standpoint. |

|
|
250 | Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", |
|
|
251 | "urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt". |
|
|
252 | |
