 CONFIGURE OPTIONS
     General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
     hasn't been tested well. Either try with "--enable-everything" or use
-    the ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by
+    the default configuration (i.e. no "--enable-xxx" or "--disable-xxx"
-    myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you
+    switches). Of course, you should always report when a combination
-    should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be
-    fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>.
+    doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>.
     All
     --enable-everything
         Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in
-        "./configure --help".
+        "./configure --help", except for "--enable-assert" and
+        "--enable-256-color".
         You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by
         *following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or
         you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying
         "--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..."
         arguments you want.
-    --enable-xft (default: enabled)
+    --enable-xft (default: on)
-        Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts
+        Add support for Xft (anti-aliased, among others) fonts. Xft fonts
         are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use
         them, you don't pay for them.
     --enable-font-styles (default: on)
         Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The
         fonts can be set manually or automatically.
-    --with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all)
+    --with-codesets=CS,... (default: all)
         Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu",
         "vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character
         sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts,
         they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled
         in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently.
         Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost
         about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a
         font requiring one of these encodings.

     --enable-xim (default: on)
         Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
         alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set
         up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
     --enable-unicode3 (default: off)
+        Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters.
         Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535
         (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements
         per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
         extra characters, but Xft does.
         Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
         even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited
-        to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next
+        to a few thousand (shared with combining characters, see next
         switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
         (input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
     --enable-combining (default: on)
         Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite
         characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where
-        accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by

+        be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists.
         This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters
         beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified.
         The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
         forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to
         be used (and tell me how these are to be used...).
-    --enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt)
+    --enable-fallback[=CLASS] (default: Rxvt)
         When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS.
         To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback.
     --with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt)
         Use the given name as default application name when reading
         resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
-    --with-res-class=CLASS /default: URxvt)
+    --with-res-class=CLASS (default: URxvt)
         Use the given class as default application class when reading
         resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace rxvt.
     --enable-utmp (default: on)
         Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start
     --enable-lastlog (default: on)
         Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin)
         at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to
         also be specified.
-    --enable-xpm-background (default: off)
+    --enable-pixbuf (default: on)
-        Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
+        Add support for GDK-PixBuf to be used for background images. It adds
+        support for many file formats including JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, XPM,
+        BMP, ICO and TGA.
+    --enable-startup-notification (default: on)
+        Add support for freedesktop startup notifications. This allows
+        window managers to display some kind of progress indicator during
+        startup.
-    --enable-transparency (default: off)
+    --enable-transparency (default: on)
-        Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake

+        transparency. Note that blur and blend effects depend on libXrender
+        and on the availability of the RENDER extension in the X server.
     --enable-fading (default: on)
-        Add support for fading the text when focus is lost (requires
+        Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
-        "--enable-transparency").
-    --enable-tinting (default: on)
-        Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds (requires
-        "--enable-transparency").
-    --enable-menubar (default: off)
-        Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
-        dynamic locale switching currently).
     --enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
     --enable-next-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar.
     --enable-xterm-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar.
-    --enable-plain-scroll (default: on)
-        Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is
-        the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many
-        years.
-    --enable-half-shadow (default: off)
-        Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
-        only applicable to rxvt scrollbars.
-    --enable-ttygid (default: off)
-        Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your
-        system uses this type of security.
     --disable-backspace-key
         Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
         do it.
         Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do
         it.
     --disable-resources
         Removes any support for resource checking.
-    --enable-xgetdefault
-        Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
-        version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
-        then ~/.Xresources.
-        Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull
-        in and use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it
-        might be very small, if nonexistant.
-    --enable-strings (default: off)
-        Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
-        various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have
-        been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link
-        in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux
-        systems).
     --disable-swapscreen
         Remove support for secondary/swap screen.
     --enable-frills (default: on)
         A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills"
         (possibly in combination with other switches) is:
           MWM-hints

         mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.
+    --enable-selectionscrolling (default: on)
+        Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or
+        bottom of the screen.
     --enable-mousewheel (default: on)
         Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
     --enable-slipwheeling (default: on)
         Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
         accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
         requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
-    --disable-new-selection
-        Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
-    --enable-dmalloc (default: off)
-        Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
-        http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this
-        or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after
-        compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places.
-        You can only use either this option and the following (should you
-        use either) .
-    --enable-dlmalloc (default: off)
-        Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version See
-        <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.
-    --enable-smart-resize (default: on)

+        fixed position.
+    --enable-text-blink (default: on)
+        Add support for blinking text.
     --enable-pointer-blank (default: on)
         Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive.
+    --enable-perl (default: on)
+        Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage for
+        more info on this feature, or the files in src/perl/ for the
+        extensions that are installed by default. The perl interpreter that
+        is used can be specified via the "PERL" environment variable when
+        running configure. Even when compiled in, perl will *not* be
+        initialised when all extensions have been disabled "-pe ""
+        --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to enable from a
+        resource standpoint.
+    --enable-assert (default: off)
+        Enables the assertions in the code, normally disabled. This switch
+        is only useful when developing rxvt-unicode.
+    --enable-256-color (default: off)
+        Force use of so-called 256 colour mode, to work around buggy
+        applications that do not support termcap/terminfo, or simply improve
+        support for applications hardcoding the xterm 256 colour table.
+        This switch breaks termcap/terminfo compatibility to
+        "TERM=rxvt-unicode", and consequently sets "TERM" to
+        "rxvt-unicode-256color" by default (doc/etc/ contains
+        termcap/terminfo definitions for both).
+        It also results in higher memory usage and can slow down rxvt
+        dramatically when more than six fonts are in use by a terminal
+        instance.
     --with-name=NAME (default: urxvt)
         Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt",
         "urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt".
         to PATH.
     --with-x
         Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?).
-    --with-xpm-includes=DIR
-        Look for the XPM includes in DIR.
-    --with-xpm-library=DIR
-        Look for the XPM library in DIR.
-    --with-xpm
-        Not needed - define via --enable-xpm-background.
