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". |
13 |
|
14 |
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
15 |
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or |
16 |
you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
17 |
"--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." |
18 |
arguments you want. |
19 |
|
20 |
--enable-xft (default: enabled) |
21 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
22 |
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
23 |
them, you don't pay for them. |
24 |
|
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) |
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 transparency and |
111 |
background images. It adds support for many file formats including |
112 |
JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep |
113 |
image XML |
114 |
(<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>). |
115 |
|
116 |
This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the |
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) |
134 |
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar. |
135 |
|
136 |
--enable-next-scroll (default: on) |
137 |
Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar. |
138 |
|
139 |
--enable-xterm-scroll (default: on) |
140 |
Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar. |
141 |
|
142 |
--enable-plain-scroll (default: on) |
143 |
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is |
144 |
the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many |
145 |
years. |
146 |
|
147 |
--enable-ttygid (default: off) |
148 |
Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your |
149 |
system uses this type of security. |
150 |
|
151 |
--disable-backspace-key |
152 |
Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server |
153 |
do it. |
154 |
|
155 |
--disable-delete-key |
156 |
Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do |
157 |
it. |
158 |
|
159 |
--disable-resources |
160 |
Removes any support for resource checking. |
161 |
|
162 |
--disable-swapscreen |
163 |
Remove support for secondary/swap screen. |
164 |
|
165 |
--enable-frills (default: on) |
166 |
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
167 |
to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may |
168 |
want to disable this. |
169 |
|
170 |
A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills" |
171 |
(possibly in combination with other switches) is: |
172 |
|
173 |
MWM-hints |
174 |

some round-trip time optimisations |
195 |
nearest color allocation on pseudocolor screens |

204 |
verbose X error handling |
205 |
|
206 |
--enable-iso14755 (default: on) |
207 |
Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1), or doc/rxvt.1.txt). |
208 |
Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by "--enable-frills", while |
209 |
support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch. |
210 |
|
211 |
--enable-keepscrolling (default: on) |
212 |
Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the |
213 |
mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow. |
214 |
|
215 |
--enable-selectionscrolling (default: on) |
216 |
Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or |
217 |
bottom of the screen. |
218 |
|
219 |
--enable-mousewheel (default: on) |
220 |
Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5. |
221 |
|
222 |
--enable-slipwheeling (default: on) |
223 |
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
224 |
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
225 |
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
226 |
|
227 |
--enable-smart-resize (default: off) |
228 |
Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep |
229 |
the window corner which is closest to a corner of the screen in a |
230 |
fixed position. |
231 |
|
232 |
--enable-pointer-blank (default: on) |
233 |
Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive. |
234 |
|
235 |
--enable-perl (default: on) |
236 |
Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage |
237 |
(doc/rxvtperl.txt) for more info on this feature, or the files in |
238 |
src/perl-ext/ for the extensions that are installed by default. The |
239 |
perl interpreter that is used can be specified via the "PERL" |
240 |
environment variable when running configure. Even when compiled in, |
241 |
perl will *not* be initialised when all extensions have been |
242 |
disabled "-pe "" --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to |
243 |
enable from a resource standpoint. |
244 |
|
245 |
--with-afterimage-config=DIR |
246 |
Look for the libAfterImage config script in DIR. |
247 |
|
248 |
--with-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
249 |
Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", |
250 |
"urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt". |
251 |
|
252 |
--with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode) |
253 |
Change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME. |
254 |
|
255 |
--with-terminfo=PATH |
256 |
Change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo tree |
257 |
to PATH. |
258 |
|
259 |
--with-x |
260 |
Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?). |
261 |
|
