# Content
1 --enable-everything
2 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 --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 all all of the above
18 --enable-xim
19 add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
20 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
21 set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
22 --enable-unicode3
23 enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
24 multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per
25 character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
26 extra characters, but Xft does.
27 --enable-combining
28 enable automatic composition of combining characters into
29 composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
30 where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
31 done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
32 new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. Without
33 --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed characters
34 is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the
35 private use area, extending the number of combinations to
36 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This
37 will also enable storage of characters >16bit. They currently
38 won't display properly, but they will paste correctly.
39 The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
40 forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want
41 these to be used.
42 --enable-fallback(=CLASS)
43 when reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
44 (default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback.
45 --with-res-name=NAME
46 use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name
47 when reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace
48 rxvt.
49 --with-res-class=CLASS
50 use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
51 when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
52 rxvt.
53 --enable-utmp
54 write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like ``w'') at
55 start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
56 --enable-wtmp
57 write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like ``last'') at
58 start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
59 option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
60 --enable-lastlog
61 write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like
62 ``lastlogin'') at start of rxvt execution. This option requires
63 --enable-utmp to also be specified.
64 --enable-xpm-background
65 add support for XPM background pixmaps
66 --enable-transparency
67 add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
68 transparency to the term
69 --enable-menubar
70 add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
71 dynamic locale switching currently)
72 --enable-rxvt-scroll
73 add support for the original rxvt scrollbar
74 --enable-next-scroll
75 add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar
76 --enable-xterm-scroll
77 add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar
78 --enable-plain-scroll
79 add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that
80 is the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for
81 many years.
82 --enable-half-shadow
83 make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
84 only applicable to rxvt scrollbars
85 --enable-ttygid
86 change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
87 your system uses this type of security
88 --disable-backspace-key
89 disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
90 do it
91 --disable-delete-key
92 disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
93 do it
94 --disable-resources
95 remove all resources checking
96 --enable-xgetdefault
97 make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
98 version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
99 then ~/.Xresources
100 --enable-strings
101 add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
102 various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
103 have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
104 to link in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many
105 GNU/Linux systems).
106 --disable-swapscreen
107 remove support for swap screen
108 --enable-frills
109 add support for some lesser used features
110 --enable-linespace
111 add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows
112 --enable-keepscrolling
113 add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
114 the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow
115 --enable-mousewheel
116 add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5
117 --enable-slipwheeling
118 add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
119 accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
120 requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
121 --enable-old-selection
122 remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that
123 of v2.20 (and prior)
124 --disable-new-selection
125 remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm
126 --enable-dmalloc
127 use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging
128 See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details
129 If you use either this or the next option, you may need to
130 edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to
131 the right places.
132 You can only use either this option and the following (should
133 you use either)
134 --enable-dlmalloc
135 use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
136 See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details
137 --enable-smart-resize
138 add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size
139 via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the
140 rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen
141 --enable-256-color
142 add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours
143 --enable-cursor-blink
144 add support for a blinking cursor
145 --enable-pointer-blank
146 add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive
147 --with-name=NAME
148 set the basename for the installed binaries (default: urxvt, resulting
149 in urxvt, urxvtd etc.). Specify --with-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
150 --with-term=NAME
151 change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME
152 (default "rxvt")
153 --with-terminfo=PATH
154 change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo
155 tree to PATH
156 --with-x
157 use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?)
158 --with-xpm-includes=DIR
159 look for the XPM includes in DIR
160 --with-xpm-library=DIR
161 look for the XPM library in DIR
162 --with-xpm
163 not needed - define via --enable-xpm-background
164
