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 |

<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 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... |
21 |
Compile in support for additional codeset groups: |
22 |
|
23 |
all all of the above |
24 |
cn common chinese encodings |
25 |
cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs |
26 |
jp common japanese encodings |
27 |
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings |
28 |
kr korean encodings |
29 |
|
30 |
--enable-xim |
31 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
32 |
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
33 |
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
34 |
|
35 |
--enable-unicode3 |
36 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
37 |
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
38 |
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
39 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
40 |
|
41 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
42 |
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
43 |
to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
44 |
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
45 |
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
46 |
|
47 |
--enable-combining |
48 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
49 |
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
50 |
accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
51 |
using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
52 |
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
53 |
|
54 |
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
55 |
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use |
56 |
the private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448). |
57 |
With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also |
58 |
enable storage of characters >65535. |
59 |
|
60 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
61 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
62 |
be used. |
63 |
|
64 |
--enable-fallback(=CLASS) |
65 |
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS |
66 |
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use |
67 |
--disable-fallback. |
68 |
|
69 |
--with-res-name=NAME |
70 |
Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when |
71 |
reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
72 |
|
73 |
--with-res-class=CLASS |
74 |
Use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class |
75 |
when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace |
76 |
rxvt. |
77 |
|
78 |
--enable-utmp |
79 |
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start |
80 |
of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
81 |
|
82 |
--enable-wtmp |
83 |
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at |
84 |
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
85 |
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
86 |
|
87 |
--enable-lastlog |
88 |
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) |
89 |
at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to |
90 |
also be specified. |
91 |
|
92 |
--enable-xpm-background |
93 |
Add support for XPM background pixmaps. |
94 |
|
95 |
--enable-transparency |
96 |
Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake |
97 |
transparency to the term. |
98 |
|
99 |
--enable-fading |
100 |
Add support for fading the text when focus is lost. |
101 |
|
102 |
--enable-tinting |
103 |
Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds. |
104 |
|
105 |
--enable-menubar |
106 |
Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with |
107 |
dynamic locale switching currently). |
108 |
|
109 |
--enable-rxvt-scroll |
110 |
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar. |
111 |
|
112 |

116 |
Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar. |
117 |
|
118 |
--enable-plain-scroll |
119 |
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is |
120 |
the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many |
121 |
years. |
122 |
|
123 |
--enable-half-shadow |
124 |
Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height. |
125 |
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars. |
126 |
|
127 |
--enable-ttygid |
128 |
Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your |
129 |
system uses this type of security. |
130 |
|
131 |
--disable-backspace-key |
132 |
Disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server |
133 |
do it. |
134 |
|
135 |
--disable-delete-key |
136 |
Disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do |
137 |
it. |
138 |
|
139 |
--disable-resources |
140 |
Remove all resources checking. |
141 |
|
142 |
--enable-xgetdefault |
143 |
Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small |
144 |
version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist |
145 |
then ~/.Xresources. |
146 |
|
147 |
--enable-strings |
148 |
Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
149 |
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have |
150 |
been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link |
151 |
in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux |
152 |
systems). |
153 |
|
154 |
--disable-swapscreen |
155 |
Remove support for swap screen. |
156 |
|
157 |
--enable-frills |
158 |
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
159 |
to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may |
160 |
want to disable this. |
161 |
|
162 |
--enable-iso14755 |
163 |
Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1), or doc/rxvt.1.txt). |
164 |
Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by "--enable-frills", while |
165 |
support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch. |
166 |
|
167 |
--enable-linespace |
168 |
Add support to provide user specified line spacing between text |
169 |
rows. |
170 |

Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the |
173 |
mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow. |
174 |
|

Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5. |
177 |
|
178 |
--enable-slipwheeling |
179 |
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
180 |
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
181 |
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
182 |
|
183 |
--disable-new-selection |
184 |
Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm. |
185 |
|
186 |
--enable-dmalloc |
187 |
Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See |
188 |
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this |
189 |
or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after |
190 |
compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places. |
191 |
|
192 |
You can only use either this option and the following (should you |
193 |
use either) . |
194 |
|
195 |
--enable-dlmalloc |
196 |
Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version See |
197 |
<http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details. |
198 |
|
199 |
--enable-smart-resize |
200 |
Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via from |
201 |
hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the rxvt corner which |
202 |
is closest to a corner of the screen. |
203 |
|
204 |
--enable-256-color |
205 |
Add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours. |
206 |

216 |
--with-name=NAME |
217 |
Set the basename for the installed binaries (default: urxvt, |
218 |
resulting in urxvt, urxvtd etc.). Specify --with-name=rxvt to |
219 |
replace rxvt. |
220 |
|
221 |
--with-term=NAME |
222 |
Change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME (default |
223 |
