# 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 1.2 --enable-unicode3
19     enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
20     multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per character
21     from 2 to 4 bytes and is not too useful as font support in X11 and Xft
22     is largely missing, although cut & paste will work correctly, as will
23     displaying, if you have the right font(s).
24 pcg 1.1 --enable-utmp
25     write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like ``w'') at
26     start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
27     --enable-wtmp
28     write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like ``last'') at
29     start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
30     option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
31     --enable-lastlog
32     write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like
33     ``lastlogin'') at start of rxvt execution. This option requires
34     --enable-utmp to also be specified.
35     --enable-xpm-background
36     add support for XPM background pixmaps
37     --enable-transparency
38     add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
39     transparency to the term
40     --enable-menubar
41 pcg 1.7 add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
42     dynamic locale switching currently)
43 pcg 1.1 --enable-rxvt-scroll
44     add support for the original rxvt scrollbar
45     --enable-next-scroll
46     add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar
47     --enable-xterm-scroll
48     add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar
49 pcg 1.5 --enable-plain-scroll
50 pcg 1.7 add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that
51     is the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for
52     many years.
53 pcg 1.1 --enable-half-shadow
54     make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
55     only applicable to rxvt scrollbars
56     --enable-xim
57 pcg 1.3 add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
58 pcg 1.1 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
59 pcg 1.3 set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
60 pcg 1.1 --enable-ttygid
61     change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
62     your system uses this type of security
63     --disable-backspace-key
64     disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
65     do it
66     --disable-delete-key
67     disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
68     do it
69     --disable-resources
70     remove all resources checking
71     --enable-xgetdefault
72     make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
73     version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
74     then ~/.Xresources
75     --enable-strings
76     add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
77     various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
78     have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
79 pcg 1.7 to link in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many
80     GNU/Linux systems).
81 pcg 1.1 --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 pcg 1.5 (default "rxvt")
125 pcg 1.1 --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
136 pcg 1.7
