1General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
2hasn't been tested well. Either try with --enable-everything or use the
3./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself,
4so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always
5report when a combination doesn't work, so it cnya be fixed. Marc Lehmann

25--enable-xim
26 add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
27 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
28 set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.

21 enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic 30 enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic
22 multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per character 31 multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per
23 from 2 to 4 bytes and is not too useful as font support in X11 and Xft 32 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 33 extra characters, but Xft does.
25 displaying, if you have the right font(s). 34--enable-combining
35 enable automatic composition of combining characters into
36 composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
37 where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
38 done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
39 new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. Without
40 --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed characters
41 is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the
42 private use area, extending the number of combinations to
43 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This
44 will also enable storage of characters >16bit. They currently
45 won't display properly, but they will paste correctly.
46 The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
47 forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want
48 these to be used.
