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 the |
4 |
./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself, |
5 |
so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always |
6 |
report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann |
7 |
<rxvt@schmorp.de>. |
8 |
|
9 |
--enable-everything |
10 |
Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure |
11 |
--help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order |
12 |
dependant. You can specify this and then disable options which this |
13 |
enables by *following* this with the appropriate commands. |
14 |
|
15 |
--enable-xft |
16 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
17 |
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
18 |
them, you don't pay for them. |
19 |
|
20 |
--enable-font-styles |
21 |
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
22 |
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
23 |
|
24 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... |
25 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", |
26 |
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character |
27 |
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, |
28 |
they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |
29 |
in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. |
30 |
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |
31 |
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a |
32 |
font requiring one of these encodings. |
33 |
|
34 |
all all available codeset groups |
35 |
zh common chinese encodings |
36 |
zh_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs |
37 |
jp common japanese encodings |
38 |
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings |
39 |
kr korean encodings |
40 |
|
41 |
--enable-xim |
42 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
43 |
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
44 |
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
45 |
|
46 |
--enable-unicode3 |
47 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
48 |
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
49 |
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
50 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
51 |
|
52 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
53 |
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
54 |
to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
55 |
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
56 |
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
57 |
|
58 |
--enable-combining |
59 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
60 |
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
61 |
accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
62 |
using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
63 |
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
64 |
|
65 |
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
66 |
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt-unicode |
67 |
will use the private use area, extending the number of combinations |
68 |
to 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
69 |
|
70 |
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
71 |
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
72 |
|
73 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
74 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
75 |
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |
76 |
|
77 |
--enable-fallback(=CLASS) |
78 |
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS |
79 |
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use |
80 |
--disable-fallback. |
81 |
|
82 |
--with-res-name=NAME |
83 |
Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when |
84 |
reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
85 |
|
86 |
--with-res-class=CLASS |
87 |
Use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class |
88 |
when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace |
89 |
rxvt. |
90 |
|
91 |
--enable-utmp |
92 |
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start |
93 |
of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
94 |
|
95 |
--enable-wtmp |
96 |
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at |
97 |
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
98 |
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
99 |
|
100 |
--enable-lastlog |
101 |
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) |
102 |
at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to |
103 |
also be specified. |
104 |
|
105 |
--enable-xpm-background |
106 |
Add support for XPM background pixmaps. |
107 |
|
108 |
--enable-transparency |
109 |
Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake |
110 |
transparency to the term. |
111 |
|
112 |
--enable-fading |
113 |
Add support for fading the text when focus is lost. |
114 |
|
115 |
--enable-tinting |
116 |
Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds. |
117 |
|
118 |
--enable-menubar |
119 |
Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with |
120 |
dynamic locale switching currently). |
121 |
|
122 |
--enable-rxvt-scroll |
123 |
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar. |
124 |
|
125 |
--enable-next-scroll |
126 |
Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar. |
127 |
|
128 |
--enable-xterm-scroll |
129 |
Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar. |
130 |
|
131 |
--enable-plain-scroll |
132 |
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is |
133 |
the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many |
134 |
years. |
135 |
|
136 |
--enable-half-shadow |
137 |
Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height. |
138 |
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars. |
139 |
|
140 |
--enable-ttygid |
141 |
Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your |
142 |
system uses this type of security. |
143 |
|
144 |
--disable-backspace-key |
145 |
Disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server |
146 |
do it. |
147 |
|
148 |
--disable-delete-key |
149 |
Disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do |
150 |
it. |
151 |
|
152 |
--disable-resources |
153 |
Remove all resources checking. |
154 |
|
155 |
--enable-xgetdefault |
156 |
Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small |
157 |
version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist |
158 |
then ~/.Xresources. |
159 |
|
160 |
Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull |
161 |
in and use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it |
162 |
might be very small, if nonexistant. |
163 |
|
164 |
--enable-strings |
165 |
Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
166 |
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have |
167 |
been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link |
168 |
in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux |
169 |
systems). |
170 |
|
171 |
--disable-swapscreen |
172 |
Remove support for swap screen. |
173 |
|
174 |
--enable-frills |
175 |
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
176 |
to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may |
177 |
want to disable this. |
178 |
|
179 |
A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills" |
180 |
(possibly in combination with other switches) is: |
181 |
|
182 |
MWM-hints |
183 |
EWMH-hints (pid, utf8 names) and protocols (ping) |
184 |
seperate underline colour |
185 |
settable border widths and borderless switch |
186 |
settable extra linespacing |
187 |
iso-14755-2 and -3, and visual feedback |
188 |
backindex and forwardindex escape sequence |
189 |
window op and some xterm/OSC escape sequences |
190 |
tripleclickwords |
191 |
settable insecure mode |

197 |
Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1), or doc/rxvt.1.txt). |
198 |
Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by "--enable-frills", while |
199 |
support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch. |
200 |
|
201 |
--enable-keepscrolling |
202 |
Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the |
203 |
mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow. |

207 |
|
208 |
--enable-slipwheeling |
209 |
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
210 |
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
211 |
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
212 |
|
213 |
--disable-new-selection |
214 |
Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm. |
215 |
|
216 |
--enable-dmalloc |
217 |
Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See |
218 |
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this |
219 |
or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after |
220 |
compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places. |
221 |
|
222 |
You can only use either this option and the following (should you |
223 |
use either) . |
224 |
|
225 |
--enable-dlmalloc |
226 |
Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version See |
227 |
<http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details. |
228 |
|
229 |
--enable-smart-resize |
230 |
Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via from |
231 |
hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the rxvt corner which |
232 |
is closest to a corner of the screen. |
233 |
|
234 |
--enable-pointer-blank |
235 |
Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive. |
236 |
|
237 |
--with-name=NAME |
238 |
Set the basename for the installed binaries (default: "urxvt", |
239 |
resulting in "urxvt", "urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to |
240 |
replace with "rxvt". |
241 |
|
242 |
--with-term=NAME |

244 |
"rxvt-unicode") |
245 |
|
246 |
--with-terminfo=PATH |

Change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo tree |
248 |
to PATH. |
249 |
|
250 |
--with-x |
251 |
Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?). |
252 |
|
253 |
--with-xpm-includes=DIR |
254 |
Look for the XPM includes in DIR. |
255 |
|
256 |
