1General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
2hasn't been tested well. Either try with --enable-everything or use the
3./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself,
4so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always
5report when a combination doesn't work, so it cnya be fixed. Marc Lehmann

6 commands. 13--enable-xft
7--enable-languages 14 add support for xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. xft fonts are
8 add support for languages which require multiple character glyphs 15 slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them,
9 to display. 16 you don't pay for them.
10--with-encoding=NAME 17--with-codesets=NAME,...
11 set the default encoding for multi-char glyph languages to NAME. 18 compile in support for additional codeset groups:
12 Options are: "eucj" EUC Japanese encoding; "sjis" Shift JIS encoding; 19 jp common japanese encodings
13 "big5" BIG5 encoding; "gb" GB encoding; "kr" EUC Korean encoding; 20 jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
14 "noenc" no encoding. This option requires --enable-languages to 21 kr korean encodings
15 also be specified. 22 cn common chinese encodings
23 cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs
24 all all of the above
25--enable-xim
26 add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
27 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
28 set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
29--enable-unicode3
30 enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
31 multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per
32 character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
33 extra characters, but Xft does.
34--enable-combining
35 enable automatic composition of combining characters into
36 composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
37 where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
38 done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
39 new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. Without
40 --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed characters
41 is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the
42 private use area, extending the number of combinations to
43 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This
44 will also enable storage of characters >16bit. They currently
45 won't display properly, but they will paste correctly.
46 The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
47 forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want
48 these to be used.
49--enable-fallback(=CLASS)
50 when reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
51 (default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback.
52--with-res-name=NAME
53 use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name
54 when reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace
55 rxvt.
56--with-res-class=CLASS
57 use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
58 when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
