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 default configuration (i.e. no "--enable-xxx" or "--disable-xxx" |
|
|
5 | switches). Of course, you should always report when a combination |

6 | doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |

34 | they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |

|
|
36 | Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |

| 28 | --enable-fallback(=CLASS) |
60 | Please note that rxvt-unicode can store and display unicode |
|
|
61 | characters above 65535 even without this flag, but the number of |

|
64 | |
|
|
65 | --enable-combining (default: on) |
|
|
66 | Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
|
|
67 | characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
|
|
68 | accents are encoded as separate unicode characters. This is done by |
|
|
69 | using precomposed characters when available or creating new |
|
|
70 | pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
|
|
71 | |
|
|
72 | Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
|
|
73 | characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will |
|
|
74 | be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
|
|
75 | |
|
|
76 | This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
|
|
77 | beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
|
|
78 | |
|
|
79 | The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |

| 47 | write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like |

| 54 | transparency to the term |

|
| 86 | --enable-strings |
|
|
| 87 | add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
|
|
| 88 | various routines, overriding your system's versions which may |
|
|
| 89 | have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries |
|

137 | Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
| 97 | add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows |

|
| 112 | --enable-dmalloc |
|
|
| 113 | use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging |
|
|
| 114 | See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details |
|
|
| 115 | If you use either this or the next option, you may need to |
|
|
| 116 | edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to |
|
|
| 117 | the right places. |
|
|
| 118 | You can only use either this option and the following (should |
|
|
| 119 | you use either) |
|
|
| 120 | --enable-dlmalloc |
|
|
| 121 | use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version |
|
|
| 122 | See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details |
|
|
| 123 | --enable-smart-resize |
|
|
| 124 | add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size |
|

| 125 | via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the |
|
|
| 126 | rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen |

216 | --enable-perl (default: on) |
|
|
217 | Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the rxvtperl(3) manpage for |
|
|
218 | more info on this feature, or the files in src/perl/ for the |
|
|
219 | extensions that are installed by default. The perl interpreter that |
|
|
220 | is used can be specified via the "PERL" environment variable when |
|
|
221 | running configure. Even when compiled in, perl will *not* be |
|
|
222 | initialised when all extensions have been disabled "-pe "" |
|
|
223 | --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to enable from a |
|
|
224 | resource standpoint. |
|
|
225 | |
|
|
226 | --enable-assert (default: off) |
|
|
227 | Enables the assertions in the code, normally disabled. This switch |
|
|
228 | is only useful when developing rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
229 | |
|
|
230 | --enable-256-color (default: off) |
|
|
231 | Force use of so-called 256 colour mode, to work around buggy |
|
|
232 | applications that do not support termcap/terminfo, or simply improve |
|
|
233 | support for applications hardcoding the xterm 256 colour table. |
|
|
234 | |
|
|
235 | This switch breaks termcap/terminfo compatibility to |
|
|
236 | "TERM=rxvt-unicode", and consequently sets "TERM" to |
|
|
237 | "rxvt-unicode-256color" by default (doc/etc/ contains |
|
|
238 | termcap/terminfo definitions for both). |
|
|
239 | |
|
|
240 | It also results in higher memory usage and can slow down rxvt |
|
|
241 | dramatically when more than six fonts are in use by a terminal |
|
|
242 | instance. |
|
|
243 | |
|
|
244 | --with-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |

245 | Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", |
| 135 | in urxvt, urxvtd etc.). Specify --with-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
246 | "urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt". |

247 | |
| 137 | change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME |
248 | --with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode) |
| 138 | (default "rxvt") |
249 | Sets the default "TERM" value that rxvt sets. The default is either |
|
|
250 | "rxvt-unicode" or "rxvt-unicode-256color", as appropriate. |
|
|
251 | |
| 139 | --with-terminfo=PATH |
252 | --with-terminfo=PATH |
| 140 | change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo |
253 | If set, rxvt will set the environment variable "TERMINFO" to the |
| 141 | tree to PATH |
254 | given PATH, which can be useful as a last resort if installing the |
|
|
255 | terminfo entries system-wide is not possible. |
|

256 | |
| 142 | --with-x |
257 | --with-x |
