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

|
|
8 | |
| 1 | --enable-everything |
9 | --enable-everything |
| 2 | add support for all enable options marked with an asterisk listed |
10 | Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure |
| 3 | in "./configure --help". Note that unlike other enable options this |
11 | --help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order |
| 4 | is order dependant. You can specify this and then disable options |
12 | dependant. You can specify this and then disable options which this |
| 5 | which this enables by _following_ this with the appropriate |
13 | enables by *following* this with the appropriate commands. |
| 6 | commands. |
14 | |
| 7 | --enable-languages |
15 | --enable-xft |
| 8 | add support for languages which require multiple character glyphs |
16 | Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
| 9 | to display. |
17 | are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
| 10 | --with-encoding=NAME |
18 | them, you don't pay for them. |
| 11 | set the default encoding for multi-char glyph languages to NAME. |
19 | |
| 12 | Options are: "eucj" EUC Japanese encoding; "sjis" Shift JIS encoding; |
20 | --enable-font-styles |
| 13 | "big5" BIG5 encoding; "gb" GB encoding; "kr" EUC Korean encoding; |
21 | Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
| 14 | "noenc" no encoding. This option requires --enable-languages to |
22 | fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
| 15 | also be specified. |
23 | |
|
|
24 | --with-codesets=NAME,... |
|
|
25 | Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (eu, vn |
|
|
26 | are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). |
|
|
27 | These codeset tables are currently only used for driving X11 core |
|
|
28 | fonts, they are not required for Xft fonts. Compiling them in will |
|
|
29 | make your binary bigger (together about 700kB), but it doesn't |
|
|
30 | increase memory usage unless you use an X11 font requiring one of |
|
|
31 | these encodings. |
|

39 | |
|
|
40 | --enable-xim |
|
|
41 | Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
|
|
42 | alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
|
|
43 | up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
|
|
44 | |
|
|
45 | --enable-unicode3 |
|
|
46 | Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
|
|
47 | (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
|
|
48 | per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
|
|
49 | extra characters, but Xft does. |
|
|
50 | |
|
|
51 | Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
|
|
52 | even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
|
|
53 | to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
|
|
54 | switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
|
|
55 | (input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | --enable-combining |
|
|
58 | Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
|
|
59 | characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
|
|
60 | accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
|
|
61 | using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
|
|
62 | pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
|
|
63 | |
|
|
64 | Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
|
|
65 | characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use |
|
|
66 | the private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448). |
|
|
67 | With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also |
|
|
68 | enable storage of characters >65535. |
|
|
69 | |
|
|
70 | The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
|
|
71 | forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
|
|
72 | be used. |
|
|
73 | |
|
|
74 | --enable-fallback(=CLASS) |
|
|
75 | When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS |
|
|
76 | (default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use |
|
|
77 | --disable-fallback. |
|
|
78 | |
|
|
79 | --with-res-name=NAME |
|
|
80 | Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when |
|
|
81 | reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
|
|
82 | |
|
|
83 | --with-res-class=CLASS |
