240 --enable-assert (default: off)
241 Enables the assertions in the code, normally disabled. This switch
242 is only useful when developing rxvt-unicode.
243
244 --enable-256-color (default: off)
245 Force use of so-called 256 colour mode, to work around buggy
246 applications that do not support termcap/terminfo, or simply improve
247 support for applications hardcoding the xterm 256 colour table.
248
249 This switch breaks termcap/terminfo compatibility to
250 "TERM=rxvt-unicode", and consequently sets "TERM" to
251 "rxvt-unicode-256color" by default (doc/etc/ contains
252 termcap/terminfo definitions for both).

254 It also results in higher memory usage and can slow down rxvt
255 dramatically when more than six fonts are in use by a terminal
256 instance.
