# User Rev Content
1 pcg 1.1 --enable-everything
2 pcg 1.7 add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure
3     --help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order
4     dependant. You can specify this and then disable options which
5     this enables by _following_ this with the appropriate commands.
6 pcg 1.2 --enable-xft
7     add support for xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. xft fonts are
8     slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them,
9     you don't pay for them.
10     --with-codesets=NAME,...
11     compile in support for additional codeset groups:
12     jp common japanese encodings
13     jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
14     kr korean encodings
15     cn common chinese encodings
16     cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs
17 pcg 1.7 all all of the above
18 pcg 1.8 --enable-xim
19     add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
20     alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
21     set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
22 pcg 1.2 --enable-unicode3
23 pcg 1.10 enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
24     multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per
25     character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
26     extra characters, but Xft does.
27     --enable-combining
28     enable automatic composition of combining characters into
29     composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
30     where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
31     done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
32     new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. Without
33     --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed characters
34     is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the
35     private use area, extending the number of combinations to
36     8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This
37     will also enable storage of characters >16bit. They currently
38     won't display properly, but they will paste correctly.
39     The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
40     forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want
41     these to be used.
42 pcg 1.8 --enable-fallback(=CLASS)
43     when reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
44     (default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback.
45     --with-res-name=NAME
46     use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name
47     when reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace
48     rxvt.
49     --with-res-class=CLASS
50     use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
51     when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
52     rxvt.
53 pcg 1.1 --enable-utmp
54     write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like ``w'') at
55     start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
56     --enable-wtmp
57     write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like ``last'') at
58     start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
59     option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
60     --enable-lastlog
61     write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like
62     ``lastlogin'') at start of rxvt execution. This option requires
63     --enable-utmp to also be specified.
64     --enable-xpm-background
65     add support for XPM background pixmaps
66     --enable-transparency
67     add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
68     transparency to the term
69     --enable-menubar
70 pcg 1.7 add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
71     dynamic locale switching currently)
72 pcg 1.1 --enable-rxvt-scroll
73     add support for the original rxvt scrollbar
74     --enable-next-scroll
75     add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar
76     --enable-xterm-scroll
77     add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar
78 pcg 1.5 --enable-plain-scroll
79 pcg 1.7 add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that
80     is the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for
81     many years.
82 pcg 1.1 --enable-half-shadow
83     make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
84     only applicable to rxvt scrollbars
85     --enable-ttygid
86     change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
87     your system uses this type of security
88     --disable-backspace-key
89     disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
90     do it
91     --disable-delete-key
92     disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
93     do it
94     --disable-resources
95     remove all resources checking
96     --enable-xgetdefault
97     make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
98     version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
99     then ~/.Xresources
100     --enable-strings
101     add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
102     various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
103     have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
104 pcg 1.7 to link in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many
105     GNU/Linux systems).
106 pcg 1.1 --disable-swapscreen
107     remove support for swap screen
108     --enable-frills
109     add support for some lesser used features
110     --enable-linespace
111     add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows
112     --enable-keepscrolling
113     add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
114     the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow
115     --enable-mousewheel
116     add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5
117 pcg 1.3 --enable-slipwheeling
118 pcg 1.1 add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
119     accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
120     requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
121     --enable-old-selection
122     remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that
123     of v2.20 (and prior)
124     --disable-new-selection
125     remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm
126     --enable-dmalloc
127     use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging
128     See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details
129     If you use either this or the next option, you may need to
130     edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to
131     the right places.
132     You can only use either this option and the following (should
133     you use either)
134     --enable-dlmalloc
135     use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
136     See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details
137     --enable-smart-resize
138     add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size
139     via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the
140     rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen
141     --enable-256-color
142 pcg 1.3 add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours
143 pcg 1.1 --enable-cursor-blink
144     add support for a blinking cursor
145     --enable-pointer-blank
146     add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive
147 pcg 1.8 --with-name=NAME
148     set the basename for the installed binaries (default: urxvt, resulting
149     in urxvt, urxvtd etc.). Specify --with-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
150 pcg 1.1 --with-term=NAME
151     change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME
152 pcg 1.5 (default "rxvt")
153 pcg 1.1 --with-terminfo=PATH
154     change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo
155     tree to PATH
156     --with-x
157     use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?)
158     --with-xpm-includes=DIR
159     look for the XPM includes in DIR
160     --with-xpm-library=DIR
161     look for the XPM library in DIR
162     --with-xpm
163     not needed - define via --enable-xpm-background
164 pcg 1.7
