1CONFIGURE 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

30 --enable-xim
31 Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
32 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set
33 up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
34
20--enable-unicode3 35 --enable-unicode3
21 enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic 36 Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535

23 from 2 to 4 bytes and is not too useful as font support in X11 and Xft 38 per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
24 is largely missing, although cut & paste will work correctly, as will 39 extra characters, but Xft does.
25 displaying, if you have the right font(s). 40
41 Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
42 even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited
43 to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next
44 switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
45 (input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
46
47 --enable-combining
48 Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite
49 characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where
50 accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by
51 using precomposited characters when available or creating new
52 pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
53
54 Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
55 characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use
56 the private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448).
57 With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also
58 enable storage of characters >65535.
59
60 The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
61 forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to
62 be used.
63
64 --enable-fallback(=CLASS)
65 When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
66 (default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use
67 --disable-fallback.
68
69 --with-res-name=NAME
70 Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when
71 reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
72
73 --with-res-class=CLASS
74 Use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
75 when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
76 rxvt.
