# User Rev Content
1 pcg 1.1 --enable-everything
2     add support for all enable options marked with an asterisk listed
3     in "./configure --help". Note that unlike other enable options this
4     is order dependant. You can specify this and then disable options
5     which this enables by _following_ this with the appropriate
6     commands.
7 pcg 1.2 --enable-xft
8     add support for xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. xft fonts are
9     slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them,
10     you don't pay for them.
11     --with-codesets=NAME,...
12     compile in support for additional codeset groups:
13     jp common japanese encodings
14     jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
15     kr korean encodings
16     cn common chinese encodings
17     cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs
18     vn vietnamese (not well-supported, though)
19     all all of the above.
20     --enable-unicode3
21     enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
22     multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per character
23     from 2 to 4 bytes and is not too useful as font support in X11 and Xft
24     is largely missing, although cut & paste will work correctly, as will
25     displaying, if you have the right font(s).
26 pcg 1.1 --enable-utmp
27     write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like ``w'') at
28     start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
29     --enable-wtmp
30     write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like ``last'') at
31     start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
32     option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
33     --enable-lastlog
34     write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like
35     ``lastlogin'') at start of rxvt execution. This option requires
36     --enable-utmp to also be specified.
37     --enable-xpm-background
38     add support for XPM background pixmaps
39     --enable-transparency
40     add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
41     transparency to the term
42     --enable-menubar
43     add support for our menu bar system
44     --enable-graphics
45     add support for our graphics mode (see src/graphics)
46     --enable-rxvt-scroll
47     add support for the original rxvt scrollbar
48     --enable-next-scroll
49     add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar
50     --enable-xterm-scroll
51     add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar
52     --enable-half-shadow
53     make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
54     only applicable to rxvt scrollbars
55     --enable-xim
56 pcg 1.3 add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
57 pcg 1.1 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
58 pcg 1.3 set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
59 pcg 1.1 --enable-greek
60     add support for greek keyboard
61     --enable-ttygid
62     change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
63     your system uses this type of security
64     --disable-backspace-key
65     disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
66     do it
67     --disable-delete-key
68     disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
69     do it
70     --disable-resources
71     remove all resources checking
72     --enable-xgetdefault
73     make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
74     version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
75     then ~/.Xresources
76     --enable-strings
77     add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
78     various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
79     have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
80     to link in. (This has header problems on some Linux systems).
81     --disable-swapscreen
82     remove support for swap screen
83     --enable-frills
84     add support for some lesser used features
85     --enable-linespace
86     add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows
87     --enable-keepscrolling
88     add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
89     the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow
90     --enable-mousewheel
91     add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5
92 pcg 1.3 --enable-slipwheeling
93 pcg 1.1 add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
94     accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
95     requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
96     --enable-old-selection
97     remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that
98     of v2.20 (and prior)
99     --disable-new-selection
100     remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm
101     --enable-dmalloc
102     use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging
103     See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details
104     If you use either this or the next option, you may need to
105     edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to
106     the right places.
107     You can only use either this option and the following (should
108     you use either)
109     --enable-dlmalloc
110     use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
111     See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details
112     --enable-smart-resize
113     add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size
114     via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the
115     rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen
116     --enable-256-color
117 pcg 1.3 add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours
118 pcg 1.1 --enable-cursor-blink
119     add support for a blinking cursor
120     --enable-pointer-blank
121     add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive
122     --with-term=NAME
123     change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME
124     (default "xterm")
125     --with-terminfo=PATH
126     change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo
127     tree to PATH
128     --with-x
129     use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?)
130     --with-xpm-includes=DIR
131     look for the XPM includes in DIR
132     --with-xpm-library=DIR
133     look for the XPM library in DIR
134     --with-xpm
135     not needed - define via --enable-xpm-background
