|
|
| 136 | use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging |
|
|
| 137 | See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details |
|
|
| 138 | If you use either this or the next option, you may need to |
|
|
| 139 | edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to |
|
|
| 140 | the right places. |
|
|
| 141 | You can only use either this option and the following (should |
|
|
| 142 | you use either) |
|
|
| 143 | --enable-dlmalloc |
|
|
| 144 | use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version |
|
|
| 145 | See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details |
|
|
| 146 | --enable-smart-resize |
|
|
| 147 | add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size |

230 | --enable-perl (default: on) |
|
|
231 | Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage for |
|
|
232 | more info on this feature, or the files in src/perl/ for the |
|
|
233 | extensions that are installed by default. The perl interpreter that |
|
|
234 | is used can be specified via the "PERL" environment variable when |
|
|
235 | running configure. Even when compiled in, perl will *not* be |
|
|
236 | initialised when all extensions have been disabled "-pe "" |
|
|
237 | --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to enable from a |
|
|
238 | resource standpoint. |
|
|
239 | |
|
|
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). |
|
|
253 | |
|
|
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. |
