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

35 --enable-xim
36 Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
37 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set
38 up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
39

25 displaying, if you have the right font(s). 45
46 Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
47 even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited
48 to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next
49 switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
50 (input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
51
52 --enable-combining
53 Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite
54 characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where
55 accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by
56 using precomposited characters when available or creating new
57 pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
58
59 Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
60 characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use
61 the private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448).
62 With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also
63 enable storage of characters >65535.
64
65 The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
66 forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to
67 be used.
68
69 --enable-fallback(=CLASS)

71 (default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use

76 reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.

80 when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
81 rxvt.
