1 | CONFIGURE 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 |
|
|
4 | the ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by |
|
|
5 | myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you |
|
|
6 | should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be |
|
|

|

26 | --enable-font-styles (default: on) |

28 | fonts can be set manually or automatically. |

31 | Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", |
|
|
32 | "vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character |
|
|
33 | sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, |
|
|
34 | they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |
|
|
35 | in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. |
|
|
36 | Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |
|
|
37 | about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a |
|
|

48 | Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |

| 25 | displaying, if you have the right font(s). |
59 | |
| 26 | --enable-utmp |
60 | Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
|
|
61 | even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
|
|
62 | to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
|
|
63 | switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
|
|
64 | (input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | --enable-combining (default: on) |
|
|
67 | Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
|
|
68 | characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
|
|
69 | accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
|
|
70 | using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
|
|
71 | pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
|
|
72 | |
|
|
73 | Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
|
|
74 | characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will |
|
|
75 | be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
|
|
76 | |
|
|
77 | This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
|
|
78 | beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
|
|
79 | |
|
|
80 | The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
|
|
81 | forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
|
|
82 | be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |
|
