# 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-rxvt-scroll
45     add support for the original rxvt scrollbar
46     --enable-next-scroll
47     add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar
48     --enable-xterm-scroll
49     add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar
50 pcg 1.5 --enable-plain-scroll
51     add support for a very plain-looking scrollbar that I used for many years
52 pcg 1.1 --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-ttygid
60     change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
61     your system uses this type of security
62     --disable-backspace-key
63     disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
64     do it
65     --disable-delete-key
66     disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
67     do it
68     --disable-resources
69     remove all resources checking
70     --enable-xgetdefault
71     make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
72     version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
73     then ~/.Xresources
74     --enable-strings
75     add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
76     various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
77     have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
78     to link in. (This has header problems on some Linux systems).
79     --disable-swapscreen
80     remove support for swap screen
81     --enable-frills
82     add support for some lesser used features
83     --enable-linespace
84     add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows
85     --enable-keepscrolling
86     add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
87     the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow
88     --enable-mousewheel
89     add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5
90 pcg 1.3 --enable-slipwheeling
91 pcg 1.1 add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
92     accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
93     requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
94     --enable-old-selection
95     remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that
96     of v2.20 (and prior)
97     --disable-new-selection
98     remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm
99     --enable-dmalloc
100     use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging
101     See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details
102     If you use either this or the next option, you may need to
103     edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to
104     the right places.
105     You can only use either this option and the following (should
106     you use either)
107     --enable-dlmalloc
108     use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
109     See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details
110     --enable-smart-resize
111     add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size
112     via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the
113     rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen
114     --enable-256-color
115 pcg 1.3 add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours
116 pcg 1.1 --enable-cursor-blink
117     add support for a blinking cursor
118     --enable-pointer-blank
119     add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive
120     --with-term=NAME
121     change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME
122 pcg 1.5 (default "rxvt")
123 pcg 1.1 --with-terminfo=PATH
124     change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo
125     tree to PATH
126     --with-x
127     use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?)
128     --with-xpm-includes=DIR
129     look for the XPM includes in DIR
130     --with-xpm-library=DIR
131     look for the XPM library in DIR
132     --with-xpm
133     not needed - define via --enable-xpm-background
